The mechanisms of control from the state permeate every facet of social and cultural production. It is, thus, both inefficient and incorrect to analyze the phenomenon of gendered and racial disparity within the creative music environment as an intentional or malicious act by individuals. It is, in fact, a consequence of a deeply imbedded structure that feeds itself and continues off of the backs of brown women. It is not random; rather it is a result of a profoundly institutionalized process of domination that demands that women be submissive and womyn of color, who are systematically fetishized or ignored by mass media, are only ever seen and valued as an accessory to whiteness. Despite all this, it is useful to notice, highlight, and find new ways to support the trends and intentional acts of creativity that resist against these systems. Institutional reorganization is necessary. Community building and alternative transmission is imperative. Fostering oppositional spaces is essential to a liberatory aesthetic.

It is, thus, both inefficient and incorrect to analyze the phenomenon of gendered and racial disparity within the creative music environment as an intentional or malicious act by individuals. It is, in fact, a consequence of a deeply imbedded structure that feeds itself and continues off of the backs of brown women.

520 $a Therefore when we, who are women, queers, and people of color, talk of creative music, we do not unassumingly refer to making music outside of the conventional or classical or popular forms of music; we mean we are creating new worlds for our bodies to exist in. This music is important to embrace, not only to create some sort of representation or as a path to reclamation of our histories, but also to create a venue for transcending the systems of oppression that subjugate us. Through creative music we are not only able to "express our sorrows" as Duke Ellington stated, but are also able to restore agency in a world that relentlessly seeks to take that agency away. We are experimenting our otherness in order to define our freedom, free of identity, forging a new spiritual unity. In 2014, experimental and creative music has become a much more active political process, both in that the spaces where creative music is presented are more political, and that the bodies that create experimental music are more diverse. The intersection of the musical and political is especially important because it shows us that: 1) music can be an expression of resistance and 2) the systematic oppressions marginalized bodies face are necessarily reproduced within musical microcosms including experimental music scenes. This thesis demonstrates these phenomenons by examining two case studies where musical and political moments collide. The cases that are discussed are the Art Ensemble of Chicago in conjunction with the Chicago Freedom Movement in the mid 1960s and the underground experimental music (both electronic and otherwise) scene surrounding Occupy Oakland in the early 2010s.
