Disco Tech

Technology that heavily involves music, usually either activating things, or somehow being a power source.

'''This cannot be music for puzzle solving, or things like that. It has to be technology using music.'''

Name is a pun on the term "discotheque".

Magic Music is the magic counterpart to this trope.

Compare The Power of Rock, Band Land.

If the music is used as a weapon, you're looking for Musical Assassin.
