Special Effects

Special Effects is a style of electronic music that emerged in the 1980s and 1990s. It is characterized by the use of electronic effects, samples, and synthesizers to create a sound that is highly experimental and often abstract. Special Effects has its roots in the experimental music of the 1950s and 1960s, as well as the development of new synthesizer technology in the 1970s. Special Effects artists often draw inspiration from a wide range of sources, from jazz to world music to industrial and ambient music. The style has seen a resurgence in popularity in recent years, particularly with the rise of electronic music festivals such as Boiler Room and the emergence of new artists such as Flying Lotus and Aphex Twin.
