'Meshes Of The Afternoon'

Experimentation has different meanings based on the medium.

Being experimental in literature or film typically means you're insanely long or insanely short, all the while, not making a ton of sense. Think "Meshes of the Afternoon" or most of Samuel Beckett's work.

Musicians have a different playing field. You can get as weird as you want in the recording studio, but in the end, those notes don't mean anything. You can't really misinterpret a note or sound. You can either not interpret it or interpret it. What John Coltrane or John Lennon does on their instruments does not breed revolutions or change minds. Record and release fart noises or highway traffic and that's experimental.

A musician can make a five-hour album of animal noises and it'll probably be terrible. Beckett or the avant-garde in film can do the equivalent and it be one of the films I need to se ebefore I die.
