Summary/Abstract: The article presents, on the basis of terrain musical-anthropological study, typological characteristics of four figures in Bulgarian electronic music who are representatives of different creative generations. Ilia Fortunov comes from rock music due to thorough work on the guitar sound. Lubomir Kavaldjiev is a musicologist, a philosopher, a multi-media aesthete, presumably a representative of the academic community, by nature - a typical representative of the Third Information Wave. Vlatimir Djambazov is a follower of the traditional analytical European conception of “Elektronische Musik” in a vanguard and post-vanguard light. Ivan Dragolov is an interesting example of purposefully laconic but highly precise quests in programming algorithmic music. The respective profiles of the four authors are also outlined according to the functional model TIEM. After presenting the four models of musical behaviour some basic aesthetic properties of the innovational electronic music in Bulgaria are worked out. - Superhuman message /supernatural, magic/, subconscious, implicit - as frequently met categories in the aesthetics of Bulgarian electronic music. - Innovational quests and antagonistic attitudes to already created rules and norms (projection of Vanguard). - Tendency towards using various devices from other arts - cinema, theatre, ballet, mimicry and gestures. - Developing TEAM SENSE as part of globalization within the context of world culture and PROJECTION OF THE IDEA OF DECENTRALIZATION in the third informational wave /after A.Toftler/.
