13.5 The Genre Column

The Genre column describes the musical style with which a sound can be associated:
This set of Attributes is the last step in defining your KORE SOUND, as these are the most
subjective definitions and/or interpretations.
Obviously, the definition of "What is techno?" and "What sound can be used for techno?" is
always subjective because really, every sound can be used for every genre, like a harpsichord
in hip-hop or a sub bass in jazz. But here, we also try to pinpoint the sound's origin whenever
possible. Therefore, a harpsichord sound should be found under Orchestral/Classical, as it's
an instrument used in the repertoire of the 17th and 18th century.
Again, check Appendix B for a complete list of definitions.
