Wevie Stonder
Wevie Stonder are a British group formed in Brighton in 1993. They have released 6 studio albums on Skam, Sonig and Cack Records. History Wevie Stonder first began making music in 1979 at the age of 6, by recording some chickens down an old army telephone onto a cassette recorder, accompanied by a 3 stringed acoustic guitar. They regrouped in 1993 with an Amstrad Studio 100 4 track, Casio PT 82 and an electric bass to record a failed cover version of "I Just Called To Say I love You" and various other audio experiments, which were inserted into Brighton Music Library on side B of a Steve Reich cassette, complete with its own Dewey Decimal Number. Their debut LP ''Eat Your Own Ears'' (whose name was later taken by the London-based promotions company) led them to release a series of records on the Skam and Sonig labels and perform at electronic music nights and festivals around the UK and Europe, creating some confusion in the electronic music world and a fad for spoonerised na ...

Experimental Music
Experimental music is a general label for any music or music genre that pushes existing boundaries and genre definitions. Experimental compositional practice is defined broadly by exploratory sensibilities radically opposed to, and questioning of, institutionalized compositional, performing, and aesthetic conventions in music. Elements of experimental music include Indeterminacy in music, indeterminate music, in which the composer introduces the elements of chance or unpredictability with regard to either the composition or its performance. Artists may also approach a hybrid of disparate styles or incorporate unorthodox and unique elements. The practice became prominent in the mid-20th century, particularly in Europe and North America. John Cage was one of the earliest composers to use the term and one of experimental music's primary innovators, utilizing Indeterminacy (music), indeterminacy techniques and seeking unknown outcomes. In France, as early as 1953, Pierre Schaeffer had ...

Artists in the 20th century include Allan Sherman, Frank Zappa, Tiny Tim, Barenaked Ladies, Randy Newman, and "Weird Al" Yankovic.
