What type of band is both Wire and Electrasy considered?
Electrasy Electrasy were an English rock band. Formed in 1994 in Dorset, UK, the band consisted of vocalist Alisdair (Ali) McKinnell, guitarists Nigel Nisbet and Steve Atkins, bassist Alex Meadows (who joined the band before they recorded "In Here We Fall"), drummer Paul Pridmore and keyboardist Jim Hayden (who left the band by May 2001). The band were active until 2002, although several members of the band still based in the UK after this time continued to perform occasional gigs. Nigel Nisbet has subsequently released three solo-albums, "Calling All The Dreamers" in 2007, "Musicians are Different" in 2015 and "Mainstream Panic" in 2016. Alex Meadows has also released recent solo material under the name "The Inexperienced", and is also a regular performer with various other acts (Tom Jones, Il Divo).
Mixed music Mixed music is a term which describes music combining acoustic instruments and fixed-media electronics (e.g "concrete" sounds, sound-file playback etc) or more generally, music which combines acoustic-instrumental and electronic sounds sources (to the exclusion of electrically amplified instruments, such as the electric guitar and electronic instruments such as the theremin, electronic organs & keyboards, etc); mixed music is therefore a subcategory of electronic music. While this term could be applied to many genres, the term "mixed music" generally refers to contemporary classical music repertoire and is therefore distinct from live electronic music.
