Yes, FOR YOU this is an experiment, because you haven't bothered to pay attention to what the music is doing, how it's written, or anything. And what a surprise, you claim subjectivity... sure sign of a crap argument.
@alaricque Clearly you didn't get much from those classes, so I'll educate you instead. Babbitt's use of the synthesizer was not to experiment, but rather to realise his music -- this is at a time when, generally, performers would not approach contemporary music. The synthesizer could 'perform' his music exactly as he wrote it... and he only wrote a small handful of pieces in this vein anyway, so to call him a 'pseudocomposer' based on about 5% of his oeuvre is certainly stupid.
@flammesombres To sum up: The core of these compositions is experiment, and as with every art experiment, some people may call it avantgarde. It is just how it goes :)
The feel of music is subjective. For me, this is no music, just experiment.
@flammesombres In fact I have a few subjects in my college related to electroacoustic music, so I am quite educated in meanings of such a composition. But my opinion is the same.
All there is is experimenting with new possibilities of sound, all other meanings are resultive, or supplementary. However, I dont think it is wrong, its just a part of history of music.
Experimenting emerges with every new technological progression, music is not an exception.
I am enjoying listening to you even though I want another version of you. Smiling

Absolutely brilliant performance. Your voice is simply beautiful. I had no idea there was anyone brave enough to do this piece live.

I love Babbitt.....but he didn't seem able to avoid the standard male composer dork-ness of creating vocal works for sopranos. Blech.

Actually, he openly presented his solipsism in his statement that for him all is experiment.

@alaricque sorry, but that's absolute rubbish; you should really do some research before making such ignorant comments.
