Wikipedia
braindance
Intelligent dance music (commonly abbreviated as IDM) is a style of electronic music originating in the early 1990s, defined by idiosyncratic experimentation rather than specific genre constraints. It emerged from the culture and sound palette of electronic and rave music styles such as ambient techno, acid house, Detroit techno and breakbeat; it has been regarded as better suited to home listening than dancing. Prominent artists associated with it include Aphex Twin, Autechre, Squarepusher, Venetian Snares, Boards of Canada, Telefon Tel Aviv, μ-Ziq, the Black Dog, the Future Sound of London, and Luke Vibert.The term "intelligent dance music" was likely inspired by the 1992 Warp compilation Artificial Intelligence and is said to have originated in the US in 1993 with the formation of the "IDM list", an electronic mailing list originally chartered for the discussion of English artists appearing on the compilation. The term has been widely criticised and dismissed by most artists associated with it, including Aphex Twin, Autechre, and μ-Ziq. In 2014, music critic Sasha Frere-Jones observed that the term "is widely reviled but still commonly used".

Braindance
Braindance is a NYC-based progressive darkwave musical group. Formed in 1992 by electric guitarist - record producer, Vora Vor, and drummer Rob Notoris as a progressive rock band, the group added vocalist Sebastian Elliott later that year. Bassist Eiki Matsumoto and keyboardist Robyn Naylor filled out the lineup. Matsumoto left the project to be replaced by former Ion Vein bassist, Andrew Bunk. Notoris, Naylor, and Bunk departed the band to pursue other projects, although Bunk later returned to record on Master Of Disguise. Braindance has been recording Master Of Disguise, its third official full-length recording project, since 2006. TSO bassist David Z, Matisyahu drummer Jonah David, and singer-songwriter Becca Schack joined the group for live performances. Schack stayed on, joined by Natalia Eth to add background vocals for Master Of Disguise. Trey Gunn Band and League of Crafty Guitar Players member, Tony Geballe added additional electric guitar and saz parts. Braindance plays what is described as progressive darkwave, combining the elements of goth, industrial, electronic, synthpop and darkwave with progressive metal, progressive trance, vocal house, and modern classical music. Braindance has become one of the most distinctive voices in the underground, known for their pop sensibilities combined with technical and formal complexity.
