In the early 1980s mass-produced digital synthesizers, such as the Yamaha DX7, became popular, and MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) was developed. The 1970s also saw electronic music begin to have a significant influence on popular music, with the adoption of polyphonic synthesizers, electronic drums, drum machines and turntables, through the emergence of genres such as disco, krautrock, new wave, synth-pop, hip hop and EDM. In the early 1970s, Moog synthesizers and Japanese drum machines helped popularize synthesized electronic music. Electronic music was also created in Japan and the United States beginning in the 1950s and Algorithmic composition with computers was first demonstrated in the same decade.ĭuring the 1960s, digital computer music was pioneered, innovation in live electronics took place, and Japanese electronic musical instruments began to influence the music industry. Music produced solely from electronic generators was first produced in Germany in 1953.
Musique concrète, created in Paris in 1948, was based on editing together recorded fragments of natural and industrial sounds. By the 1940s, magnetic audio tape allowed musicians to tape sounds and then modify them by changing the tape speed or direction, leading to the development of electroacoustic tape music in the 1940s, in Egypt and France. During the 1920s and 1930s, some electronic instruments were introduced and the first compositions featuring them were written. The first electronic musical devices were developed at the end of the 19th century. Such electromechanical devices include the telharmonium, Hammond organ, electric piano and the electric guitar. Electromechanical instruments can have mechanical parts such as strings, hammers, and electric elements including magnetic pickups, power amplifiers and loudspeakers. Pure electronic instruments depended entirely on circuitry-based sound generation, for instance using devices such as an electronic oscillator, theremin, or synthesizer.
It includes both music made using electronic and electromechanical means ( electroacoustic music). music technology (electronic and digital)Įlectronic music is music that employs electronic musical instruments, digital instruments, or circuitry-based music technology in its creation.For the magazine, see Electronic Musician.
