no, its not what I meant, but its a nice subject, thank you!

oh, a new genre, just for me?

yeah, I started with blues and did quite some rock and new age and 
listeners often remark similarities with Pink Floyd or classical or 
indian music.
Avant garde stuff I only do live because I dont think its fun to 
listen to it recorded. Recently I played some shows with Reggae 
bands, too.
I also study Anti-Looping music (the one that never repeats 
anything), but I rarely play it in public yet. :-)

It seems not even my name serves as a category for what I am doing :-)
Then again, whatever style I play, anybody quickly recognizes my... what?
Its probably because I am not able to play any style right :-(

but yes, if you manage to define "electronic folk" in a way that it 
includes all I do and does not exclude anyone else who may want to 
use it, I will use it from now on! :-)
