mittausic

Mitta music is a genre of music that emerged in Finland. It is characterized by its use of experimental soundscapes, often incorporating field recordings, electronic textures, and abstract vocalizations. The term "mittausic" is derived from the Finnish word "mittaus," meaning "measurement," which reflects the genre's focus on exploring sonic phenomena and their perception.

Mitta music is not typically structured around traditional song forms, such as verse-chorus. Instead, it often presents evolving sonic environments that encourage listeners to engage with sound in a more immersive and contemplative way. Artists within this genre may draw inspiration from a wide range of sources, including natural sounds, urban noise, and the human body. The creation process often involves meticulous sound design and a deep understanding of audio manipulation techniques.

While it can be challenging to categorize definitively, mittausic shares some common ground with genres like ambient, noise music, and musique concrète, yet it maintains a distinct identity through its specific aesthetic and conceptual underpinnings. The genre has been explored by a number of Finnish artists and has gained a niche following for its innovative approach to sound and listening. Performances of mittausic can vary, sometimes involving live manipulation of sound sources and the creation of site-specific installations.
