Would it be accurate to say that "microsound" music is mainly "Minimal
electronic" music,  especially for those artists that are incorporating some
horizontal sounds such as a room tones, feedbacks or pure waves?   Unless
one suggest that a room tone, a feedback or a sine wave is construct of a
series of little period, hence grain...  Is the term "minimal-electronic-
music" is already in use to determine a specific esthetic?

May sound silly but to me microsound is so much attach to the synthesis
techniques (granular, FFT, pulsar etc) that I'm having trouble to identify a
musical genre to it.  That's why having album exemples clear thing up.

Thanks
