Title of journal/publication: History
of Electronic music
Main idea:
What is Electronic Music?
Music involving electronic processing, such as
recording and editing on tape, Electronic Music is produced from a wide variety
of sound and produced by Electronic oscillators. Electronic
Music is played back through loudspeaker either alone or with combination of
instrument.
Evidence/s that support/s the main
idea:
‘‘This pre-World War II period was
accompanied by substantial experimentation with electrical and electronic
devices. The most important outcome for the composer was the development of a
number of electronic musical instruments (such as the Hammond organ and
the theremin) that provided new timbres and that laid the technical
foundations for the future development of electronic music proper from about
1948 onward. The rapid development of computer technology has had its effect in music too,
so much so that the term computer music is replacing electronic
music as the more accurate description of the most significant interaction
between the composer and the electronic medium.’’
"Electronic music is represented not
only by a wide variety of 20th-century works and not only by serious concert pieces
but also by a substantial literature of theatre, film, and television scores and by
multimedia works that use all types of audiovisual techniques. Electronic music
for theatre and films seems an especially appropriate replacement for a
disembodied, nonexistent orchestra heard from a tape or a sound track.
Electronic popular music has also won adherents. This mostly has consisted of
arrangements of standard popular music for electronic synthesizers, the
tentative use of electronic alterations by some of the more ambitious and
experimental rock groups,
and the preparation of recordings by innovative studio techniques.”
