I've struggled with trying to come up with an apt catchy description of my music, but I think it's been under my nose the whole time. Now if someone asks me what kind of music I do from now I'm saying "New Bohemian" - an artistic musical expression that disregards stanadards of behaviour. My music is too organic to be called "electronica", not "traditional" enough to be called "ethnic", too eclectic to be called "world", too contemporary to be called "new age", too edgey to be called "new jazz", too "plugged-in" to be called "folk". I've been shunned by every venue and act that claims to be "about" any particular genre, so I'm creating my own. Most folks who like my stuff are themselves artists, dancers, scultors, painters, writers, etc. Also, techies, and eeducators, believe it or not. Basically, all free thinkers, folks who don't require labels to tell them what they like.
So I've picked a label which stands for artistic non-conformity.
Cool with me.

You have most definetely hit the proverbial nail on the head with that!!!! You are absolutely correct in your description of your music! Now ,I too am struck with the "why didn't I think of that" adage!!
