Folktronica 's Blurbs |
About me:
The term Folktronica can describe sophisticated contemporary forms of music born from the encounter between traditional live instrumentation and computer generated sound manipulation. An harmonious blend of the organic with the synthetic which has given birth to a new evolution of sound.
The Folktronica events gather some of the most intriguing artists from various contemporary music scenes, who due to the sophisticated or experimental nature of their music remain generally unknown to mainstream culture, but are well recognised and respected within many underground circles.
The events also other similar genres that are somehow interconnected to that musical spectrum. Ambient|Glitch|Nu-Gaze|IDM|Post Rock|Post-Jazz|Shoegaze and many other cross overs are all considered by many to be the most avant-garde contemporary musical movements. Yet it is only in recent years that they have finally began to gain the deserved recognition, as the internet allowed both their fans and musicians from across the globe to interact more closely and create awareness.
The Folktronica events held in London aims to act in a similar fashion, creating a hub where both fans and musicians of such genres can find a place to meet, perform, exchange ideas and harness the future evolution of music.
