Post Description

Musical style

While she's music can be labeled as electronica and chiptune, it incorporates elements and flavors from ambient and classical music. Using a mixture of old 8-bit computers and modern equipment, she's music is produced in the bitpop style.
While she's albums are electronic in nature, they can vary in genres from album to album. For example, the first release emit and exude is a blend of industrial/electro with electric guitars, his third release pioneer is a chiptune album that uses a gameboy as the main instrument, and his first major release coloris is a dance/electronica album.
Lain often uses acoustic instruments with synths (this stems from his musical roots in classical piano).
Very noticeable in she's music is the use of filters to remove the low frequencies, while retaining the impression that certain sounds (e.g. the kick drum) are still in full force. This has the consequence of making some sounds sound like they suddenly comes from a very Lo-fi source while some sounds still retain their full Hi-fi quality.
Another noticeable effect Lain often uses is "synthetic distortion", i.e. making the music sound 'glitchy' or 'laggy' like a damaged mp3 or CD. This creates an impression of the music being damaged when it really is not.
