GP regarding the chamber tag, it is a grouping I use, so I just took a look at what I have in there. It seems to be any thing with what I consider less than a full orchestra. I have solo instruments, trios and quartets etc., it looks like all my Baroque concertos etc are also there. I seem to have taken it all the way to Mozart's concertos, but not symphonies. When I got to Beethoven I put his concertos into Orchestral along with his symphonies. Small groups such as trios of any era are there. So I am perhaps using this as as much as a "mood" grouping as anything. I don't use my iPod at home only for travel so grouping works great for me. I have my old white Apple laptop connected to my stereo with an Apple Airport.
I also have a genre called Impossible To Say, containing things like Tiny Tim and Bongo Joe (George Coleman)
@MrV, yes, that's the sense I am transferring. A lot of the Nils Frahm, Deaf Center, etc. music may have very little if anything in common with orchestral music. One of the common themes among those artists is a sense of intimate, reflective music for small spaces. The inverse of stadium anthems.
Incidentally, Gp, on the subject of 'eai', my pointer to this Michael Pisaro performance would be representative of "eai" or "post-eai" (depending on who you talked to). Give it a listen if you hadn't already.
