12 approaches to experimentation
A friend of mine wrote this article that covers a number of techniques that can be applied to noise and music.

Re: Ten approaches to experimentation
Ten? What about the other two?
This is a good list, though. 8: Randomization & Indeterminacy and 9: Improvisation are probably the closest to my approaches generally

Indeterminacy
Working on a cut list for a cabinet.
In the adjacent room I hear the sound of a guitar string breaking.
Said string is on a guitar that has been hanging on the wall, unmoved and untouched, for 16 years.
It was the b string.

Re: Indeterminacy
I guess that answers the question of if a b string breaks alone in a room does it make a soundIndeterminacy wrote: ↑Wed Feb 10, 2021 12:21 amWorking on a cut list for a cabinet.

Re: 12 approaches to experimentation
I've actually done most of these, with the exception of those which require actual hardwarexe2x80x94although I did have a friend back when I was in high school who used to circuit-bend effects pedals, so I do have some firsthand familiarity with that beyond just ogling cool gadgets on the Internet. I've relied most heavily on indeterminacy and weird metric tricks, I think, particularly effects automation based on parameters outside of the music being altered and the use of polymeter in overlapping looping segments.
My biggest influence, though, was the French-originated school of creative writing known as OuLiPo, where the author would impose certain rules on themself as how to proceedxe2x80x94never use the letter "e," for instancexe2x80x94and then create a poem or work of prose fiction within those parameters. The most famous example is perhaps the novel A Void by Georges Perec. Arbitrary difficulties and randomness are quite stimulating for me, even if I should choose to break or at least alter those impositions later.
