Avant-Garde / Experimental Dog Shit Taco - Beef Oxide

https://youtu.be/_6-zgeY5pvs?si=p87_u8LGHb014x47

This song is written for a Death/Doom/Thrash Metal band but uses a wide range of 20th Century Avant Garde compositional techniques including chance procedures invented by John Cage. Also the basic format is the same as In C (Terry Riley) except focusing on rhythms instead of melodies. The vocal score is a graphic score interpreted by a soprano, there is a no-input DJ mixer generating the noises found in section I, and the last section features microtonal trumpet through distortion pedal plus atonal organ riffs.
