mathtronica

Electronic music that is overly wrought with hyper rhythms that change frequently and micro-tonal melodies that, while impressive in its production and technique, tends to be musically uninteresting.

I used to love all the stuff on Warp records, but as of late their stuff tends to sound like mathtronica.

Mactronica

Electronic music made and performed specifically using an Apple Mac laptop i.e. a MacBook or any other Mac product such as an iPad or even iPhone. It is a fusion of "Mac" and "Electronica". This music can incorporate other elements - such as vocal or acoustic instrumentation. The music can be triggered, queued or created live from the Macbook or other Mac device. It is a variation of "Laptronica" which is a fusion of "Laptop" and "Electronica". The term evolved after noticing that a high percentage of electronic musicians who performed with laptops, were using MacBooks. Mac's cult status with artists, musicians and creatives loaned itself recognition as a specific subcategory of electronica.

"Vanessa Mazza will be performing her moody brand of Mactronica this evening".
