  Electronic art music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Electronic "art" music is a regrettably vague term for the formal and primarily academic branch of electronic music that is focused on extending musical capabilities through technology.
Although both forms are still referred to as "electronic music" by their respective adherents, the term "art music" is generally used to specify the less mainstream of the two branches.
It was the development of the tape recorder and musique concrète that alerted the musical community to the potential of electronic music as a means to surpass the limitations that were imposed by the use of traditional musical instruments.

 Resuscitating Art Music
Those of us who have been moved, nourished, and inspired by art music find it hard to believe what's happening: symphony orchestras are collapsing, artist managers are going out of business, presenters are reducing their chamber music offerings, newspapers are cutting back on coverage, audiences are graying, and funds are drying up.
European art music, for instance, was developed for an audience who played instruments, who bought new music and learned how to play it, who sang in choirs, who took composition lessons.
We now have so many kinds of art music available to us, from so many cultures of the present and past, and there are so many different kinds of listeners with different levels of experience, that there can be no single solution to the question of how to present live music.

 AllRefer.com - minimalism : Minimalism in Music (American Art) - Encyclopedia
In music, the minimalist movement was, like minimal art, a reaction against a then-current form, with composers rejecting many of the dry intellectual complexities and the emotional sterility of serial music and other modern forms.
Generally, minimalist compositions tend to emphasize simplicity in melodic line and harmonic progression, to stress repetition and rhythmic patterns, and to reduce historical or expressive reference.
The use of electronic instruments is common in minimalist music, as are influences from Asia and Africa.
