Serialism

Serialism is an avant-garde music genre that emerged in the early 20th century, characterized by its rigorous, methodical approach to composition. Rooted in the twelve-tone technique pioneered by Arnold Schoenberg, it extends beyond melody and harmony to organize rhythm, dynamics, and timbre, creating intricate, often abstract soundscapes. As a subgenre of Minimalist and Ambient music, Serialism challenges traditional structures, inviting listeners to explore a world of orderly yet unpredictable sonic patterns.
