Microsound
What you can barely hear almost always weighs the most.
Microsound is a style from the The Edge of the Map family. 90 BPM, Weirdness 68, Style Influence 90.
Tiny clicks and digital grains arranged like points of light in the silence. Microsound: the music of the minuscule, delicate, pointillist, and almost microscopic in its precision.

Sample excerpt
Un chasquido. Otro chasquido, más cerca. Entre los dos hay una distancia que dura exactamente lo que dura pensarte.
Casi nada. Casi nada, otra vez. Lo mínimo también ocupa lugar si te quedas el tiempo suficiente.
Workshop note — Impersonal, presente, mínima. El microsound trabaja con partículas: la letra debe ser casi ausente, tres o cuatro frases en toda la pieza. A 90 BPM nominales, el silencio es la sección principal.
