About
Electronic Music is ubiquitous – synthesizers and electronic keyboards have taken their place as performance instruments alongside guitars, violins, trumpets, drums, and so on. Electronic emulations of orchestral and other instrumental sounds are heard everywhere, including film scores and TV theme music. The computer is now central to music creation – both composition and production. We even have smart phone apps offering us the power to “unleash our inner creativity” and create music. But what exactly is electronic and computer music?
Take a guided tour through the history and significant events of the development of electronic and computer music over the last century, from barrel organs (French mechanical instruments with bellows and pipes) to today's digital audio work stations. The last 50 years in particular provide an enlightening framework for understanding and showing how it fits into the grand scheme of all things musical. The tour will also reveal new ways that the world of sound and music-making can now be explored and enjoyed.
