For examples of the best avant-garde experimentation in music, French music can be great for you to explore. French artists were great at challenging norms and traditions in music and created great experimental songs.

Early musique concrète created music from natural sound recordings that were manipulated into completely new types of sounds. This laid a great foundation for the 1970s and the decades that followed, with bands like Magma and artists like Jean Guerin and Bernard Vitet, all great experimentors that created unconventional, completely new types of music. A great showcase of the spirit of the abstract and experimental productions of France is the rock fusion band Hint with their 1996 album Dys. The newsletter will aim to uncover more of such experimental and unique gems that deserve more attention.
