In 1907, Shoenberg suggested that composers abandon the tonal system. Pitches could be in free relation to each other, setting the practice free. In classical music, this was embraced in compositions such as Webern’s “Drei Kleine Stucke”. That idea was a real game changer. For some interesting contrast, look that one up.
Electronic music does this a lot in its own way; namely, in twitchy remixes, glitch hope, even scratch. It’s the element of spontaneity, which is a kind of freedom that’s afforded to the music of our era. In this track I noticed it with the way the vocals have been chopped up. So satisfying to the ear!
