Postmodern Music - Randy Brown
From the different styles discussed, some conclusions can be drawn considering postmodernism and music, something that might reflect the general state of postmodernism, as well. First, and this is especially true of rock, modernism and postmodernism cannot be clearly separated. Second, it is not that music became postmodern from a certain point of time. Instead, the development of a postmodern music took place while a pre-postmodern practice of music still continues. On a mere contextual level, postmodern music is characterized by the following: The thoroughly composed piece is replaced by randomness, improvisation, and tracks that are reassembled and mixed together. With sound instead of staff, music has lost the obligatory code that allowed its representation. Parallel to that, the notion of music is replaced by the theory of noise. Styles and genres intentionally are blurred with the continuous hybridization that characterizes club music.
