According to one of the definitions of experimental music formulated by John Cage, the role of experimentation is to ask questions rather than to provide canned answers. This second issue of TACET seeks to turn that maxim onto experimentation itself, submitting this key concept of so-called “experimental” music to its own questioning with regard to its principles, its manifestations, and its stakes, both in historically and today. It explores, in turns, the multiple ways in which experimentation is thought, the aural experience of these musics, amateur experimental practices, experimenting with vinyl media, or even some recent lines of flight drawn by noise music, network experimental practices or the click aesthetic.
