A funereal echo emanates from deep within the abandoned outskirts of Antigo, Wisconsin.

Hidden among the rusty detritus of a long-since boarded up pea canning factory you will find the Tiki Room, and nestled within its hundreds of Polynesian idols and unused bar ware resides our mournful heroes, Wyrding. A group of reunited childhood friends, Wyrding set forth to take the slow, agonic sounds of the early Finnish "funeral doom" sound, translated into a lyric-based "word ritual" setting. Performed entirely on acoustic instruments, that is to say, stripped of their predecessors' volume and bombast, Wyrding concentrates on the style's essence: raw emotion, atmosphere, and a distinct concentration on melody. A play on the old word for "fate" or "destiny," Wyrding's celestial, doomed folk sounds were derived from an aleatoric re-arranging of words, using chance to define structure. It was fate, nay, Wyrd which reunited these wayward souls, and it was Wyrd which defines their unique, mournful sound.

The Experimental Music Yearbook is a repository for composers, performers, and the public to glean the methods and styles of various artists working in the experimental music tradition. As the modes of experimentation in the arts change from year to year, the Experimental Music Yearbook’s annual issues will build into a comprehensive, and varied, database of experimentation in music/sound.
