Collection: Sound Collage

Sound Collage is an experimental and avant-garde genre that weaves together disparate audio elements to create rich sonic tapestries. Drawing from a wide range of sources, it incorporates found sounds, field recordings, snippets of music, and manipulated audio to craft immersive and often surreal soundscapes. The genre encompasses various subgenres, each with its own distinct flavor: Hauntology evokes a sense of nostalgia and eeriness through the use of vintage samples and ghostly atmospheres; Illbient fuses ambient textures with hip-hop beats and urban soundscapes; Plunderphonics relies heavily on the manipulation and recontextualization of existing recordings; and Broken Transmission mimics the glitchy, fragmented nature of disrupted radio or television signals. Together, these subgenres contribute to Sound Collage's reputation as a boundary-pushing and thought-provoking form of audio art that challenges listeners' perceptions of music and sound.
