Sonorism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sonorism is an approach to musical composition that focuses on the characteristics, quality, and texture of sound. This emphasis on sound is inherently connected with a search for new types of sounds, and sonorism relies on experimenting with instruments to create novel playing techniques.

As a movement, sonorism was initiated in the 1960s in the avant-garde of Polish music.
