low-fi

Something creative made cheaply, independently or on a very low-budget.

Checkout my latest low-fi music video on youtube.

I've been playing around with a drum machine and some broken old toy instruments to create a very low-fi sound.

Low-fi means more inventiveness and less pressure.

I'm putting together a last minute low-fi multi-media gig for SXSW- you never know who might show up.

low-fi

a life style of someone who fosters imperfection and renounces perfectionism due to personal blocks: like chronical laziness and conscious mediocrity.

a way of basing life and the products of actions around the content rather than the packaging.

un matched socks and stained trousers are very low-fi
