Welcome to the Toronto Experimental Music Project!
Scope
[edit]- The project covers articles about "experimental" music in Toronto, Canada. For the purpose of this Project, "experimental" music is somewhere within the locus of jazz, free improvisation, New Music, electronic music, electroacoustic, punk, noise and related genres. By definition, it is a liminal and nebulous classification.
- Where possible, confer with the artists and individuals who will be discussed in the articles that are generated
- This Project was founded for use at the Toronto Experimental Music Wikipedia Jam, 5 November 2016.

MS: Yes, that's whatever it is, thirteen years of at least twice a week, and then once a week, plus the tours. A lot of tape, yes. GY: I wonder if this provided you with an understanding of the importance of recording that someone else may not have. Because improvised music is unrepeatable except by recording. MS: That's true and that's one important aspect of recording, that it can fix what can't be heard again, that's for sure."
