Digitonal

Digitonal refers to a style of electronic music characterized by its combination of digital sounds and structures with more traditional or acoustic instrumentation and arrangements. It often features intricate rhythms, detailed sound design, and a blend of electronic processing with organic elements like strings, piano, or woodwinds. The term does not denote a specific genre, but rather a methodology and aesthetic approach to music creation. Digitonal music often evokes feelings of nostalgia, futurism, and a sense of blending the natural and artificial worlds. It distinguishes itself from purely electronic genres by its deliberate incorporation of acoustic elements, even if those elements are heavily processed or manipulated.
