songception
A song within a song within a song or a song about a song about a song that leaves the audience wondering if what they heard was really a song. Sometimes songception is accompanied by a 20 minute music interlude, or limbo, in which the band just plays weird chords that makes the audience feel like they have been stuck in music limbo for about 50 years.
The band Cider Tease just performed songception, but wait, was that really a song?
Songcept
The idea or notion behind a piece of music before, during or after the creative process. Created by combining the words song and concept.
Hipster: So I'm pretty sure the songcept behind Animal Collective's new album really relies on the use of specific colors and objects to create a sonic imagery.
