Finally, I’m reading it...fantastic, the only long rec I've read from start to finish, but maybe because I’m interested in the genre. I have the miracle workers but I didn't know that now the get lost were in Switzerland, and I didn't remember Khan, who they say is indeed phenomenal live. Great K, I'll try to find something! Bye

Well, if you’re talking about the avant-garde in music, I thought you were referring to what was called avant-garde music, namely Stockhausen & Co. If you want to use a term in a personal way, you're free to do so, but if you make incorrect references, one can misunderstand the references. If you take it on the level of "Bringing two distant things together," then even Korn, who fused hip hop and metal, were avant-garde. In the end, it's just a matter of terminology, but I thought you were referring to that musical avant-garde. I want to point out that the surpassing of the doors of perception was indeed the driving force behind the American counterculture of the '60s, and it assumed a breakdown of cultural hierarchies, the so-called fences, which are fundamentally at the base of power relations in the Western political-economic system. And the use of "expansive" drugs was a plus to help break down those fences, such as the distinction between Music and music.

Last note: I don't know much about avant-garde music, but did Stockhausen and La Monte Young make medieval music?

.....continues.......Unfortunately, this hierarchical approach to cultural forms is still deeply rooted; a glaring example is your mention of Michelangelo's Pietà.....well, if someone makes a graffiti there or the serigraphs of Marilyn by Warhol, is there really a difference? And now I pose a question to the de baserians: does it make more sense (if it ever did) to try to divide Music from music, that is, to attempt to create qualitative hierarchies (often based on compositional technique) in a field like music (intrinsically Popular, meaning "mass" ....without negative connotations) that is fortunately still far from becoming an institutionalized field of knowledge, with all the drawbacks that entails?

Well, I don't know where to start... well, with the album: I agree that it’s the only one I can listen to from start to finish in the career of Deep Purple, and "Child in Time" marked my adolescence. Up to this point, we’re on the same page. What I absolutely do not share is the fact that music was born and died in the period you mentioned. Unfortunately for you, that’s not exactly the case; thinking this way means expressing a personal judgment (I also hated punk and saw music solely from a technical perspective until I was twenty) and that’s it. It seems exaggerated to want to make a subjective viewpoint objective. I’m not going to list examples of bands that emerged after the late '70s which would contradict your thesis, because I assume you wouldn't be interested in knowing them, and I would fill a page. And anyway, music (I imagine understood as Music, that is, Rock) was born well before (I don’t know, Robert Johnson comes to mind) and I don’t think it will ever end. Then I don’t understand why you mention (inappropriately) poor Jim, who if he had survived would have been a cool punk 30-something. When he talked about widening the doors of perception (a theory borrowed from Huxley who in turn wasn’t saying anything new regarding well-established theories in the culture of Far East and Southeast Asia), he was referring to the opposite process of what you are doing by stubbornly refusing to see the good that has been produced outside of what you consider Music.
