Welcome to the Toronto Experimental Music Project!

=Scope=

  • The project covers articles about "experimental" music in Toronto, Canada. For the purpose of this Project, "experimental" music is somewhere within the locus of jazz, free improvisation, New Music, electronic music, electroacoustic, punk, noise and related genres. By definition, it is a liminal and nebulous classification.
  • Where possible, confer with the artists and individuals who will be discussed in the articles that are generated
  • This Project was founded for use at the [https://www.facebook.com/events/681941998648479/ Toronto Experimental Music Wikipedia Jam], 5 November 2016.

--quoting the liner notes, " 'we wanted to create not only a new work or a new instrument, but a new composer, a six-brained, twelve-handed individual, to see what it would come up with.'"

--Harry Freedman's review of CCMC Vol. III Music Gallery Editions MGE 6), Musicworks (when it was a supplement to Paper Today)

--Musicworks 39, Fall 1987, importance of documentation, Interview with Michael Snow on his album "The Last LP", interviewed by Gayle Young, "Gayle: "...Since the beginning CCMC has recorded every concert, is that true? MS: Yes, that's whatever it is, thirteen years of at least twice a week, and then once a week, plus the tours. A lot of tape, yes. GY: I wonder if this provided you with an understanding of the importance of recording that someone else may not have. Because improvised music is unrepeatable except by recording. MS: That's true and that's one important aspect of recording, that it can fix what can't be heard again, that's for sure." (page 19)

--Musicworks no 13, fall 1980, article by Allan Mattes on 'Ear it Live In Toronto (Joe, Read this)
