Electronic

Browse Electronic piano sheets with calm, playable notation. Electronic music is a broad family of genres made with electronic instruments, circuit-based technology and software, from early synthesizers to today's production tools. One of its best-known branches is electronic dance music, or EDM: percussive styles first made for nightclubs, raves and festivals, usually played by DJs who blend one track into the next. ZenPiano's Electronic shelf follows several of those threads. Dance music is here through Avicii, the Swedish producer credited with leading EDM into the mainstream, whose Waiting For Love sits beside Faithless's Insomnia, a UK dance-chart number one in 1995, and tracks by Alan Walker, TheFatRat and David Guetta. Synth-pop and electronic film music add older classics: Eurythmics' Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) and Harold Faltermeyer's Axel F, the synthesizer theme from Beverly Hills Cop released as a single in 1985. A large share of the shelf comes from games, where electronic production is at home. It includes game music by Lena Raine and Alec Holowka, Waterflame's Hexagon Force and Toby Fox's Death By Glamour, along with internet favourites such as Astronomia, the tune behind the Coffin Dance meme. Electronic tracks are built from loops, layered synthesizer parts and a steady beat, so a piano arrangement has to choose what to keep. A common approach gives the right hand the lead hook and turns the bass line and chords into a repeating left-hand pattern. Monody and To Build A Home have beginner arrangements, a gentle start before the busier dance tracks.
