| Abstract | In this paper, we present a study of tonal practises in Electronic Dance Music (EDM), an umbrella term referring to a number of subgenres such as house, techno or jungle, originating in the 1980’s and intended for dancing at nightclubs and raves. EDM is produced mainly with electronic equipment and has a strong presence of percussive elements and a steady beat. Based on corpus analysis of audio and midi files, we en-quire what the role of commonplace digital production techniques –such as layering and looping– could be in defining some tonal practises in Electronic Dance Music. |
