I've fixed the link: ------------- No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man. |

As for the genre, I would say... electronic. ------------- No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man. |

This song has NO genre ! It's a piano scroll with bland soundfonts. How the song is PRODUCED will determine it's genre. I can imagine this anywhere from an acoustic ballad all the way up to a full fledged prog assault.

I'd call IA muzak  ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

But bottom line is, any song can be made to fit 'almost any genre' with a little arrangement and production work. How it was initially conceived and written is but a starting point (dots on a page). From a Berklee Online article... 2. Shaping the MusicThis second responsibility revolves
around the question of how a producer takes the raw material of an
artist’s song and transforms it into a finished recording. This function
is both artistic and commercial. It must express the artist’s musical
and emotional intent, but must also reach a broad audience. George Martin opined that the producer is the person “who actually puts the frame around everything, presents it to the public, and says ‘This is what it is.’” It’s the producer’s taste that makes it what it is. ------------- Thank you for supporting independently produced music |

While I agree that Tensegrity doesn't feel like much right now but an unfinished draft. An idea for 1/3rd of something. It lacks a body - and a soul. However it's not difficult for me to imagine it becoming a part of something that could end up as Post-Rock of some sort (closer to "the Tortoise school" than GY!BE). It needs a human touch though. A real band. There's music can be made using electronics alone. Not this. It feels like it's pretending to sound human. |

Absolutely a draft for a post-rock song. I would not call it boring, rather... uncanny I suppose. With some human touches it may even enter into the realm of math rock or jazz fusion, too! Due to the rhythmic flow of the song, it's y hard to imagine some baroque pop being utilized as well in it. |

Is that really a genre or just a use of a song? ------------- A Human Being, Existing. |

To me it sounds like it is possibly ambient or electronic, tho in this basic form lacking any lead instruments playing the melody, and/or vocals over the top it is hard to pigeon hole right now. |
