"Quality" is a matter of perspective.

I'm old school. I haven't found much from the last decade that I can get into. Perhaps it is navel gazing, but I've found myself listening to the free improvisation stuff I do with my friend.
No shame in liking what you like. None of the people you named strike me as overly commercial, and I doubt anyone would really judge you for that anyway. I have at least some passing familiarity with everyone you named except Rădulescu. You should geek out about him because as a composer/music school graduate, I live for seeing people geek out about that type of thing in particular.

Hello! I've in a similar boat - found the site via Google looking for musical conversation, and the Experimental forum was what made me sign up, as well. I've just posted an intro - stop by and say hello!

Thanks for the encouragement, Zyrada. I brought up a couple of Rădulescu pieces in a thread on the classical board.

Don't mind him. That's just the musical project of one of the other members of the board. This place is pretty sarcastic, so don't expect any mercy from the majority! :)

I gathered that. :p:

Seems like a fun community.

Hey, everybody,

Found this forum through Google, mainly here for the Avant Garde/Experimental board. I play a bunch of different instruments and like to find new music.

You name reminds me of an eX-Girl song
