Recombinant music

Recombinant music involves blending or reconfiguring existing musical elements—such as melodies, harmonies, or recordings—to create new compositions. It often utilizes digital tools to remix or combine different sounds and styles, resulting in innovative pieces that retain recognizable fragments of original works. Think of it as remixing or reimagining familiar music in a way that explores new artistic expressions while referencing its roots. Recombinant music is common in genres like electronic, hip-hop, and experimental music, emphasizing creativity through manipulation and transformation of pre-existing musical material.
