Oramics

@Solidest, @Binksternet, would oramics qualify for music genre infobox? It's a rather unique technique, and the situation is not unlike that Japanese extreme "Onkyokei" genre, where they also employ a set of specific techniques and the resultant sound is whatever comes out of their experimentation. I also ask the same question for Drawn sound, looks like a giant (approach-wise giant) yet overlooked experimental music genre. Same question also goes for spectralism and every other experimental academic music movement out there. 178.121.11.149 (talk) 11:29, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

Does the academic community refer to these as genres? Otherwise, they are just unusual techniques for making music. Binksternet (talk) 14:15, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

I dont know yet, I will look and tell you later 178.121.11.149 (talk) 14:55, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

I think it's also important that articles should describe and have a title about the music itself, not just about the abstract movement or technology of its production. Then it's worth checking with sources whether such music can be labelled as a genre or not. For example, the article is called spectral music, not spectralism, and there could probably be an infobox there, while Oramics only describes the technology, then it shouldn't be there. I noticed that articles about academic music follow this rule. Despite this, such articles are still placed in the category about music, like Impressionism in music has no infobox but is placed in the Category:Impressionist music. Although there should probably be a separate hierarchy of musical movements that does not overlap with music genres categories. Solidest (talk) 16:17, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
