Éntekhno
Éntekhno (often rendered as entechno or entechno laïko) is a Greek art-song movement that merges the melodic language and rhythms of Greek folk and urban popular music with the orchestral palette and formal ambition of Western classical music. Characterized by carefully crafted compositions, poetry-centered lyrics, and sophisticated arrangements, éntekhno places the composer and lyricist at the artistic core. It commonly sets major Greek poetry to music, uses modal melodies drawn from demotic (folk) and rebetiko traditions, and employs odd meters such as 9/8 (zeibekiko), 7/8, and 2/4 (hasapiko) alongside Western harmonic writing. The result is popular song with elevated aesthetic aims—intimate yet symphonic, rooted in Greek tradition yet cosmopolitan in sound.

Non-Music
Non-music is an umbrella category for recorded audio whose primary purpose is not musical performance. It encompasses spoken word, speeches, interviews, poetry readings, comedy, audio documentaries, instructional recordings, field recordings, sound effects, and other forms of organized sound meant to inform, narrate, document, or entertain without relying on melody or conventional song structure. Rather than emphasizing harmony, rhythm, and instrumentation, non-music foregrounds voice, text, ambient sound, narrative flow, informational content, and sonic texture. Its aesthetics range from raw, unedited actuality to highly produced studio works, and its scope spans archival preservation, education, performance art, and mass entertainment.
