Micro-Music Genre - Musical Elements that make fidget house

Fidget House is a style of Electro House that distinguishes itself by making heavy use of Breakbeat Hardcore-esque synth stabs, pitch bending of basslines, and cut-up vocal samples, as well as glitchy, or "choppy", 4/4 rhythms. It first developed in the late 2000s and takes influence from other contemporary styles, including Bassline and UK Garage. The most well-known Fidget House producers include Hervé and Crookers.

Crookers:



The visuals that are linked to this artist consists of cartoonist illustrations which move along with the music telling the story of what the song is track talk about. These cartoons always done in the same style but only release with particular songs. The visuals are something they go along with the electronic style of the music as they are electronically generated imagery.
Imagery is something that could also be used when the artist performs, as it is something that could simply be put on any screen at any time. The images consist of bright colours, which coincide with the bright nature of the upbeat music. The imagery doesn't always make sense to the audience, but neither does the music. This makes me consider what style of imagery does go with the music.

Hervé:





Once again the imagery that goes with these music videos doesn't particularly make sense not only to the audience but doesn't really correlate with the music itself. This correlation between the two different artists that the same use of confusing imagery suggests that there is a sense of randomness included in the production of the music which is thereby reflected in the production of the imagery. This idea of randomness can also be seen in the idea that the music is created through the glitchy use of snippets from other music.
