Thread Name: What is 'feral folk music'?
Subject: RE: What is 'feral folk music'?
Well, Rifleman, it certainly didn't exist before I coined it for a very specific approach to music that was coalescing at the time. It is not a musical genre - it is a philosophical approach to Improvised & Experimental Musics which acknowledges the Folk Aesthetic to a greater or lesser extent. Conversely it can be a philosophical approach to Folk Musics which acknowledges the Improvised & Experimental Aesthetic. For me, it works both ways.
