Experimental music

Experimental music is a term introduced by the American composer John Cage in 1955. He tried to defined it as “an experimental action where the outcome of which is unforeseen”. It is music that the composer or performer doesn’t know what the result of the composition will be.

In a more general sense, it is music that challenges the commonly accepted notions of what music is.
