[QUOTE="JohnMatthewNewman, post: 67180717, member: 375162"] I had the privilege of getting my degree in music theory & composition at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. My focus was actually in electronic music ^_^ So, the above music is something I've not only studied, but at one point composed, as well. This sort of music was one of the last things I studied in college - definitely after post-tonal theory and after I'd taken two semesters of classical composition. This experimental electronic music is something that is way more fun (usually) to compose & analyze than it is to actually listen to. Even with that being said, our composition professor encouraged us to go outside our box; however, he was conscientious enough to encourage us to pull from the music that influenced us, but also to develop it and shape it so that it was an enjoyable and engaging composition to listen to. This sometimes meant using extended techniques on acoustic instruments, and always creating new sounds whenever we were doing an electronic composition - but never did it involve distortion or clipping - that was highly frowned upon. In short, there are many institutions that encourage what we traditionally recognize as composition - but I guarantee all will push you outside your level of comfort to a certain degree. The video above wouldn't play for me; however, judging by your all's reactions, I'd imagine what they're doing might be classified as sound art... which is an art student's sad and futile take on music composition IMHO.
