Music style guide

Livetronica

Livetronica brings live playing into an electronic framework. Instruments, looping, sampling and improvisation can share the same performance, making the boundary between a band and a producer less important.

What to listen for

Watch and listen for parts that change through interaction. A repeated electronic foundation can open space for a very human musical exchange. Use the artist profiles below to hear how different musicians approach this sound. These are listening connections, rather than a claim that each artist works exclusively within one style.

Artists to explore

Lotus

Live instruments and dance-oriented grooves connect jam-band exploration with the rhythmic continuity of electronic music.

STS9

Instrumental improvisation and electronic structure meet through drums, bass and layered melodic playing, giving each performance room to evolve.

Festival connections

A considered festival outfit

Organic patterns connect naturally with a mixed live-and-electronic setting. Build a flexible outfit that works for standing, dancing and settling into a longer set.
