and im asking this in a very generic kinda lazy way obv bc there is some great experimental pop music out here etc of course,the word “experimental” is off kilter in this century
have you ever read this essay by George E. Lewis? it does not directly discuss popular music, but it connects his early experiments with artificial intelligence in music to aesthetic theories of Afrodiasporic art and music that also apply to popular music
