agree  Valentín Hernández Lima: I was pondering over something along those lines, that is, 'impensado' or 'casual' or, as you say, 'fortuito'.

un sonido interesante e inusual


Explanation:
De acuerdo con Pablo y Maureen. Interesante e inusual es otra alternativa. Un botellón de plástico invertido y medio lleno de agua produce sonidos muy interesantes al golpearse con las manos.
Ver el video de Tribalistas o un show de Les Lutiers.

\"**Found Sound** mp3s -

understand their great **experimental pop songs**\".

LOST & FOUND SOUND

\"Support Lost & Found Sound\"

Over the course of the past two years, many Lost & Found Sound listeners asked us how they could directly support the making of these kind of radio stories. When Amazon.com approached us with this **experimental payment system** it seemed a possible way to do just that.

Our initial funding for Lost & Found Sound is winding down, but we have dozens of great stories left to tell - many of them from you, our listeners. We\'d hate to leave them on the table.

Here\'s the idea: In our ongoing collaboration with NPR, this website will continue to host all the existing stories online and new ones as they are produced. They will remain available for all to hear, along with images and supporting material, but we now ask you to participate in the future of this series by making a small voluntary payment, which we will use for production costs and development of this project - on radio and online.

**This is an experiment**. It might be a significant one. As you know, funding is fragile for the arts and documentary work. When we were asked to participate in the launch of amazon.com\'s new program, we thought it had the potential to create an important relationship between producers and listeners, and we thought it was worth trying. We hope you will too\".

SONIDO EXPERIMENTAL
SONIDO INVISIBLE

\"Por la mañana iniciaremos con propuestas de nuestra barra: SONIDO INVISIBLE, el sonido que no se oye en la radio, **sonido experimental**, así como presentación de proyectos de video. Presentaremos breves cápsulas sobre la historia reciente de la radio comunitaria, así como presentación de proyectos de audio y video\".

\"The Velvet Underground & Nico\" fue una apuesta por un *sonido experimental*, al punto de JUGAR CON EL RUIDO, el feedback, y todo aquello que antes era considerado \"pecado\" en el estudio de grabación\".

UN SONIDO SIN MÚSICA / NO MUSICAL / NO INSTRUMENTAL / ACCIDENTAL (procedente de objetos, no de instrumentos musicales)

Según esta referencia...

\"The idea of **“found sound”** — *non-musical sounds* come upon *by accident* and used in a musical fashion — is popularised and the use of *non-instruments* becomes standard\".

sonido "accidental"


Explanation:
Serendipitous sound, along the lines of "found art."

Found art is a term used to describe art created from common objects not normally considered to be artistic. The idea behind "found art" is that the piece of art derives its significance from the context into which it is put. Found art blurs the traditional lines of what art is and questions the very nature of art itself. --Wikipedia

agree  Ailes: as in "found poetry", but is "accidental" as close as we can get?
