Leigh Landy proposes a *"sound-based music paradigm" *about the emancipation

*[The word paradigm is sometimes criticized as an overused, somewhat unclear
term. It has been found to be appropriate in this book when used in the
sense of a "supergenre," that is, a class bringing together a cluster of
genres and categories often considered as being separate that have been
converging in recent years owing to their use of materials and the knowledge
concerning the artistic use of thosematerials].*
