"Lowercase sound" is the name given to a loose movement in electronic music that emphasizes very quiet sounds and the long, empty silences between them.
Created largely by scientists, techies and experimental musicians, lowercase recordings are frequently based on the magnification of minute sounds through a computer, typically a Macintosh.

Lowercase numerals are also called "old-style" figures (since all figures, before the advent of modern typeface designs, were lowercase).
Since lowercase figures fit in comfortably with lowercase letters, it makes sense to use this kind of figure for dates and other numbers that appear in the middle of running text.
Lowercase figures in a line of uppercase letters look every bit as silly and distracting as uppercase figures in a line of running text.

Lowercase filenames are inherent to the AppleShare filing system and have been added to the ProDOS filing system through the ProDOS FST.
What it Means Because no lowercase ASCII characters are actually stored in the filename fields of the directory entries, all ProDOS 8 software should continue to work correctly with disks containing files with lowercase characters in the filenames.
Some developers have considered it okay to ignore lowercase considerations, thinking that they would only apply to file systems other than ProDOS (and file systems which would not be available on the Apple II for a long time, if ever).

 lowercase
Minimalist artist Steve Roden coined the term "lowercase" to describe a particular style of music he was making a few years ago.
Well, a lot of listeners have discovered this music, and many more critics have taken to the concept of "lowercase" music as a way to describe the kinds of ethereal, abstract recordings that make up the bulk of the releases on such esteemed labels as Line, 3 Particles, and Trente Oiseaux.
I'm not really sure whether Roden is pleased that his attitude is now a genre, but at least he can take solace in the fact that most of the actual musicians who create so-called "lowercase" music do it not to copy Roden but to further their own aesthetic designs.
