Summary
This chapter explores a range of approaches, motivations, and sounding results of working with electronics, and in doing so offers tools and methods to decolonise existing, institution-centred histories of music in this genre. The chapter concludes with three specific examples of contemporary musicians at the cutting-edge of work in this area.
