About this Song
Recorded sound has long been sorted into buckets that group works by shared lineage, cultural roots, formal conventions, or audience alignment, but the most expansive and inclusive of these classification frameworks is the nested category that first holds all recorded music, then moves past the most widely recognized genre designations, then moves past even the secondary, niche buckets that capture less mainstream forms, landing on the Music/Other/Other classification, a space reserved for works that cannot be slotted into any preexisting defined category that would give audiences a shorthand for its core characteristics. This is not a dumping ground for unremarkable or unidentifiable works, but a deliberate recognition that not all creative sound works can be contained by the limits of the genre frameworks that have evolved to organize recorded music for distribution, archiving, and universal access.
