OK, so at some point, it's a hard line to delineate the boundaries between, say, musique concrete, "general tape music," and a "sound collage." Lots of projects or releases I could think of have a collage-type approach to many tracks, even describing themselves as such (Ultra, Macronympha, Contrastate, Runzerstirn & Gurgelstock, Merzbow) but somehow they seem a bit too "musical" (or noisy) to really hit the description of sound collage as I interpret it.
When I think of a sound collage, I'm thinking layered, cut-up, and maybe sometimes looped field recordings, tape sound, found sound, seemingly purposeless recordings of families, and the like - maybe some warped musical bits in there, but really mostly collaged non-music sound. I'm having a hard time explaining myself but am confident that at least a few people around here know what I mean.
With limited success, I've found what might qualify as such here and there, problem is, a lot of it sucks or is just a bunch of field recordings of everyday bullshit. Can anyone recommend more listenable sound-collage type stuff? Maybe even artists who specialize in such techniques?
