Collection: Microsound
Microsound is an experimental electronic music genre that focuses on the manipulation and exploration of minute sonic details and textures. This intricate style encompasses various sub-genres, each with its own distinct characteristics. Vaporwave, known for its nostalgic and surreal aesthetics, often incorporates slowed-down samples and retro-futuristic elements. Glitch embraces digital errors and system malfunctions, creating rhythmic patterns from distorted sounds and audio artifacts. Mandible, a lesser-known offshoot, emphasizes the use of mouth and jaw sounds, often processed and layered to create unique sonic landscapes. Lowercase, true to its name, centers around extremely quiet and minimal compositions, challenging listeners to focus on subtle sonic events and near-silence. Together, these sub-genres contribute to Microsound's overall ethos of exploring the boundaries of sound perception and production.
