Trip hop is a down-tempo fusion of jazz/acid jazz, hip hop, and breakbeat, trip hop is music made for the chair rather than the floor. Prototypical bands include Portishead, Massive Attack, and dj shadow. Trip hop is characterized by its slow tempo (usually less than 120 bpm), acoustic elements (particularly piano, horns, and stand up bass), often dark or spare/minimalist orchestration, generally melancholy mood, and the use of trippy effects. If the music is in the Bristol style of Portishead and Massive Attack, haunting female vocals predominate. Vocal and media sampling is very common, frequently using vintage propaganda and film/radio as a source. |
