40. Surrealist musicSurrealist music
⢠Surrealist music is music which uses unexpected
juxtapositions and other surrealist techniques.
⢠Discussing Theodor Adorno, MaxPaddison (1993, 90)
defines surrealist music as that which "juxtaposes its
historically devalued fragments in a montage-like manner
which enables them to yield up new meanings within a
new aesthetic unity," though Lloyd Whitesell says this is
Paddison's gloss of the term (Whitesell 2004, 118).Â
⢠Anne LeBaron (2002, 27) cites automatism,
including improvisation, and collage as the primary
techniques of musical surrealism.
⢠According to Whitesell, Paddison quotes Adorno's 1930
essay "Reaktion und Fortschritt" as saying "Insofar as
surrealist composing makes use of devalued means, it
uses these as devalued means, and wins its form from
the 'scandal' produced when the dead suddenly spring up
among the living"Â
