What is EXPANDED MUSIC for the 21st Century? This NYU course is offered not as an explanation but as a quest, an exploration with you as to what it might mean for a new audience with new ears and a new sensibility. Today expanded music might be a natural occurrence rather than an experiment of stretching academic boundaries when it was offered some 40 years ago in conjunction with the Electric Circus in the East Village.
It seems historic that we should be meeting in Provincetown Playhouse (the original name) as this was an experimental group of artists in the village creating new work together. Now we share that space as historical companions to those moments of expanding the boundaries of arts until the edges were blurred and the various arts formed a continuum of interrelationships.
