Electronic music is music that uses electronic musical instruments, digital instruments, and electronic musical instruments music technology. You can distinguish between sound produced by electromechanical means (electroacoustic music) and sound produced by electronics alone. Electromechanical instruments have mechanical elements such as strings, hammers and electrical elements such as magnetic pickups, power amplifiers and loudspeakers. Examples of mechanical devices that produce sound, including a telharmonium, Hammond organ, electric piano, and electric guitar, are usually produced quite loudly. for performers and listeners using an instrument amplifier and speaker cabinet. Purely electronic instruments do not have vibrating strings, hammers or other sonic mechanisms. Devices such as the termenwax, synthesizer, and computer can play electronic sounds.
The first electronic devices for playing music were developed in the 19th century and shortly thereafter Italian futurists explored sounds that were not considered musical. During the 1920s and 1930s, electronic instruments and the first compositions for electronic instruments were introduced. By the 1940s, the magnetic audiocassette allowed musicians to record sounds and then change their speed or direction, leading to the development of electroacoustic tape music in the 1940s in Egypt. and France. Specific music created in Paris in 1948, based on the collaborative editing of recorded fragments of natural and industrial sounds. Music created exclusively with electronic oscillators was first produced in Germany in 1953. Electronic music has also been created in Japan and the U.S. since the 1950s. An important new development was the advent of computers for composing music. Algorithmic composition with computers was first realized in the 1950s (algorithmic composition by itself without a computer arose much earlier, e.g. Mozart’s Musikalisches Würfelspiel ).
In the 1960s, live electronics was first in America and Europe, Japanese electronic musical instruments began to influence the music industry, and Jamaican dub music emerged as one of the varieties of popular music. electronic music. In the early 1970s, the Minimoog monophonic synthesizer and Japanese drum machines helped popularize synthesized electronic music.
In the 1970s electronic music began to influence popular music extensively with the introduction of polyphonic synthesizers, electronic drums, drum machines and turntables, thanks to the emergence of genres such as disco, krautrock, new wave, synth pop, hip-hop and EDM. In the 1980s, electronic music became more dominant in popular music, with a greater reliance on synthesizers and the adoption of programmable drum machines such as the Roland TR-808 and bass synths such as the TB-303. In the early 1980s, digital technology for synthesizers became popular, including digital synthesizers such as the Yamaha DX7, and a group of musicians and music retailers developed a digital interface for musical instruments (MIDI ).
Electronic music became popular by the 1990s due to the advent of affordable music technology. Modern music includes many varieties of electronica and various electronica from experimental art music to popular forms such as electronic dance music. Pop electronic music is most recognizable in its 4/4 form and more explorations with the mainstream than previous forms that were popular in niche markets.
