The Musical Outlier: Diverse sounds from the electronic underground

The sheer diversity and invention of electronic music today in Aotearoa is evident in a list of sounds at the upcoming electronic sonic arts festival Outlier in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland. Curated by Grace Verweij and Tash van Schaardenburg, some are subgenres, while others, they admit, are made up. On the list: glitch, deconstructed club, emo electronics, ambient, gorge, modular + synthi, hyperpop, maximalist breaks, broken cassettes, mutant classical, ambisonics, techno-naturalism, taonga pūoro, drone, IDM, and noise.
