Abstract music

Abstract music is a term used in classical music context as a synonym for absolute music.

Abstract music is also a genre of electronic music which embraces experimentation through deconstruction. These days in the electronic dance world, every creation seems to be preceded by an act of destruction. From the ruins of such destructive acts, abstract artists construct elaborate and reverberant soundscapes through the use of sampling and massive amounts of sound processing. Providing a bridge between techno and ambient, abstract is what we call the electronic music that just won't behave in its car seat.

Representative artist: Vladislav Delay
