Q. No, really, what STYLE of music is it?
A. Hard to say, and doesn’t “fit in a box.” It’s often many styles on an album, and sometimes different styles in the same song. And some styles there isn’t a name for, styles I invented. If you have to put a title on it, it can include different flavors of electronic music, including; Darkwave, Synthwave, Industrial, Synth Punk, Downtempo, Trip-Hop, Minimalism, Experimental Electronic, Minimal / Deep Tech. None of that even fits a lot of BipTunia’s music. I call BipTunia “NOTA electronic music.”
From the 8th record on, some BipTunia includes xenharmonic music / microtonal music. (There is some overlap, but the stuff we’re making is firmly in both camps.)
It’s also hard for me to say what it is. Because I don’t listen to a lot of electronic music, so I don’t know the names of the styles. I don’t listen because:
–I don’t like most of it –I don’t want to be influenced by it –I can’t listen to a lot of it because of my tinnitus (more below)
BipTunia is mostly head music more than dance music. But it is body music, i.e. it’s head music that has a physical effect and makes you tingly and groovy and wiggly, even if you’re in a big fluffy beanbag chair with headphones on.
It’s also got Rock, Pop, Ambient, Jazz, Space, Glam.
FYI, most (but not all of it) is 120 BPM. I like that tempo.
