COMPOSER
Digital Instrumental Music (DIM) for e-guitar and keyboard.
WHAT IS DIM...?
Digital instrumentation music, or DIM, is experimental music in which musical instruments produce sounds digitally rather than acoustically. This digitalisation process allows sounds to be modified and enriched through treatments and modulations.
