About
Philip Corner and Carles Santos represent experimental composition practices engaging with unconventional instrumentation and notation. Their 1987 collaborative work "chord: B major / Bb minor 9 / gong! (transcription for low strings)" exemplifies their approach to transcriptive experimentation, adapting sonic concepts across instrumental configurations. Operating within avant-garde and experimental music contexts, their work reflects broader postmodern compositional strategies of the 1980s underground music scene.
