In 2023, experimental music mapped time and space : All Songs Considered

""Time is never time at all," William Patrick Corgan Jr. once sang — and so did I, once, in a Halloween cover band, forever ago — about being lost in the moment, which is very much something one yawps over a swell of strings as a 20-something with everything to prove. So why did I feel every single moment of this year in my body, but couldn't tell you a thing about any of them?

In my 40th lap around the sun, time and space seemed to operate as a system of rubber bands — elastic memories and taut histories balled up into compacted feelings, their bounce trajectory unknown. The experimental music that spoke to me in 2023 did much the same, playing with concepts of simultaneity, recollection and liberation — not so much lost in a moment, but mapping how one got there and what was lost and found in doing so".
