Description
EAI, or Electroacoustic Improvisation, is a somewhat loosely defined style of free improvisation. It is often characterized by slow-moving, minimalist textures, often based on extended droning sounds. The genre is known for its physical, textured aesthetic, often created using unconventional instruments processed through a computer. This unique approach to sound creation results in a rich and immersive listening experience.
