Sci-fi music

Sci-fi music

Sci-fi music signifies a total non-genre progressive electronic instrumental music with both the quality level of Classical music and the sense of Pop music, that has the musical elements of Techno, Ambient, Progressive rock, and New Age Music, but at the same time doesn’t belong to any of them. The term was devised and proposed by a Japanese composer AQi Fzono in order for him to describe his inventive music style that cross-fertilizes the elements of Techno, Ambient, Progressive Rock, New Age Music and others, as well as to give a collective term for the difficult-to-classify electronic instrumental music works by artists like Jean Michel Jarre, Mike Oldfield, Vangelis, Klaus Schulze and Wendy Carlos. It absorbs any music of any genre to expand itself and as a result it brings out a new form, similar to how science fiction literature evolves. Science fiction in music, according to AQi Fzono, is that the most pure form of Electronic music or Rock music that has “the power to make an appeal to people’s visual imagination (Fiction) using electronic technology (Science)”.

AQi Fzono was not happy that his music with multiple elements has been classified as Techno, Ambient, Progressive Rock, or New Age, or sometimes as non-genre. It would be close enough to classify the hybrid music by the artists like AQi Fzono, Jean Michel Jarre, Klaus Schulze, Vangelis, Larry Fast and Wendy Carlos as “Electronic Instrumental”, “Synthesizer Music”, “Space Rock” or “New Age”, but AQi Fzono thought this would cause misunderstanding and confusion. After the release of “Cosmology” in 1998, he devised and proposed the concept/genre “Sci-fi music” to classify this album.

In a broad sense, "Sci-fi music" can be interpreted as the music that “Sci-fi-like pop music”, but it does not include here.
