In this lesson, we compare and contrast the difference between Underground and avant-garde artists. Underground music generally exists outside or on the margins of mainstream institutions and cultures in various forms of music production, such as noise and improvised music. And he does not earn a lot of money. Whereas avant-garde is progressive, boundary-pushing and challenges convention in a progressive sense and draws the mainstream towards it.

I don’t think I know what kind of sound art I’m in right now, but if I had to think about it, I’d probably progress towards avant-garde because I’m currently trying to become a game sound designer, and although I don’t know what the future holds, I think game sound should be avant-garde. Because it’s more accessible to the masses and is in the mainstream.

We also looked at a lot of the underground and avant-garde pages in class, and when we compared them, it was clear that the underground pages were more free-form than the avant-garde pages, which were like having a dedicated web designer working on them. I like the Sofia records website very much, their design is very free and I like the spontaneity.

In the end we discussed Manifestos and set out our rules.

ONE SAMPLE THAT EVERYONE USES IN THEIR PIECE

DON’T NOT HAVE FUN

ALWAYS SUPPORTIVE, INCLUSIVE, A COMMUNIT WITH SOLIDARITY

BLEND OF INDIVIDUALS, ARTISTIC FREEDOM AND FREEFORM

WORK IN COLLABORATION NOT IN COMPETITION, WILLING TO SHARE WITH EACH OTHER AND NOT KEEPTHINGS FOR OURSELVES, COMMUNAL VULNERABILITY

WHO CARES? WE ARE ANTI-MANIFESTO, RULES ARE MEANT TO BE BROKEN

MUSIC RELEASE SHOULD BE OPEN TO INTERPRETATION NOT GUIDED BY THE MANIFESTO

INDIVIDUAL LIITATIONS SHOULD BE EMBRACED BUT OVERALL LIMITATIONS AVOIDED, OTHERWISE YOU WILL MISS OUT
