Adorno called for a post-serial musique informelle to resume free atonal composition.

Evidence

In the summer of 1961, Adorno attempted in his lecture at Kranichstein to point the most recent music in the direction it should take: it should move vers une musique informelle', towards the musical style of freedom’, towards resuming the project of developing free atonal music at a post-serial stage. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 542
