Sound Collage
Sound collage is a practice and genre that assembles disparate recorded sounds—speech, field recordings, musical fragments, noise, and media detritus—into a new, cohesive work. It treats recorded sound as raw material to be cut, layered, looped, juxtaposed, and transformed, often privileging texture, timbre, and context over conventional melody and harmony. Emerging from mid‑century tape and electroacoustic experiments, sound collage spans avant‑garde, popular, and club contexts, ranging from radical tape splices to sample‑dense pop and hip‑hop. Because it recontextualizes existing audio, it can be narrative, political, archival, or purely abstract—oscillating between documentary and dreamlike mosaic.
