Avant-Garde Composers Trumps: - Rules of Play says:
In the style of the classic 70s point battling card game, this deck contains hours of chin-stroking fun for both enthusiast of avant-garde music, and for the curious just looking to dip their toe.
Each of the 30 cards features original artwork depicting a legendary avant-garde composer; the American heavyweights (John Cage, Morton Feldman), the minimalists (La Monte Young, Terry Riley), the outsiders (Harry Partch, Moondog), the European bad boys: (Karlheinz Stockhausen, Iannis Xenakis), the absurdists (Mauricio Kagel, Takehisa Kosugi), the free jazz masters (Sun Ra, Pharoah Sanders), the electronic pioneers: (Daphne Oram, Pauline Oliveros) and many more.
Crank up the skronk and commence battle with the categories of ‘Minimalism’, ‘Dissonance’, ‘Absurdism’, ‘Electronics’, ‘Jazzy!’, ‘Orchestral’ and ‘Chance Actions’
