Tonegang

Tonegang refers to a group of individuals who collaborate to create and perform music. The term is often used within specific musical genres or subcultures to describe a collective of musicians who share a common sound, aesthetic, or creative vision. These groups may function as a formal band with a consistent lineup and regular performances, or as a more informal, fluid association of artists who come together for specific projects or jams. The emphasis is on shared musical output and a sense of collective identity.

The nature of a tonegang can vary greatly. Some may be tightly knit ensembles with a long history of working together, while others might be looser affiliations that form and disband more readily. The term is not strictly tied to any particular genre, but it is frequently encountered in contexts where improvisation, collaboration, and a strong sense of community are important. This can include genres like jazz, hip-hop, electronic music, or experimental music scenes. The success and longevity of a tonegang often depend on the chemistry and shared goals of its members. The specific dynamics and activities within a tonegang are as diverse as the individuals involved.
