Acid house

Alternate meaning: The Acid House a 1994 novel by Irvine Welsh, later made into a film.

Acid house is a variant of house music characterized by the use of simple tone generators with tempo-controlled resonant filters. It began when musicians discovered that they could create interesting sounds with the Roland TB-303 analogue bass synthesizer by tweaking the resonant frequency dial as they played.
