A
style of music in which an unaccompanied vocal performer attempts to imitate the
sound of a synthesizer, drum
machine, sequencer, or other electronic instrument. This form is most frequently practiced by people attempting to identify or discuss a song rather than performed by musicians.
Example of a practical a capelletronica performance:
Lars: "I was listening to this M83
track yesterday and when it was all like 'duh-nah-nuh-NUH,' I was all like 'wow.'"
Klaus: "Wow, what track was that?"
Lars: "I
don't remember, but maybe it was more like '
bap-ba-reee-BOP!'"
Klaus: "Oh, yeah. Midnight City."
