...Joshua Kelly 205496 Joshua Michael Kelly – 205496 AUD207 Music Production Analysis “Genre History – Experimental/Electronic” Word Count: 1,650 Submission Date: 30 August 2012 Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of ‘Bachelor of Creative Technology’ JMC Academy, 2012. 1|Page Joshua Kelly 205496 Once stated by a pioneer of the genre itself, “an experimental action is one the outcome of which is not foreseen” (Experimental Music, 2010). Arising in the mid-20th century, Experimental/Electronic Music refers to an electronically produced sound recorded on tape and arranged by the composer to form a musical composition. ‘The journey of this genre has been a long, boundary pushing and often negatively characterized one. Crossing multiple continents and facing cultural alienation, it has formed into a well-established but still sometimes undefined genre at the crux of technological advances’ (Kembrew McLeod, 2001). It is well placed in this day and time, and like all music nowadays, the inclusion of the internet has seen the genre become more and more popular across the globe. The term “Experimental/Electronic Music” is an umbrella term used in this report to label an idiosyncrasies list of subgenres made with the use of any combination of computers and electronic or acoustic instruments. ‘In no way is the use of this term an attempt to ignore the concrete differences between the way these subgenres are consumed and produced. Although...

...ENGL 1121-91 13 November 2014 Precision Music The intense energy of EDM has caught the attention of pop culture around the world. EDM or electronic dance music has been having a parallel climb with computer development. Starting as far back as the 1970’s when traditional instruments were slowly leaving music to create this new genre. In the late 80’s house music had exploded in Germany and all over Europe. It took until the late 90’s for EDM to hit America. This new genre has started out relatively subtle, sticking to its underground roots. It wasn’t until 2011 when EDM began its explosive introduction into the United States. This has resulted in EDM evolving more than it has in years. In addition to the general public, colleges have implemented electronic music production into their programs. This has helped the evolution of EDM. Another contributer to the rise in popularity has been DJ’s playing EDM in clubs, introducing it to a wider audience. Being in the spotlight has brought many people to offer their support for EDM. Some say this can wither away the genres credibility. With so many people involved in the EDM scene, big companys see the opportunity to exploit it with inexperienced producers creating music to advertise for these companys. But with the EDM scene being so diverse and unique, it has done well in keeping disconnected from these money hungry companys. One way it has done this is by giving birth to a new type of music producer: the bedroom producer. These pioneers...

...dependency. With each new great release of some sort of electronic, we cast aside our second hand technology. People tend to think of these electronics as not harmful to themselves or the environment. However the electronic waste that comes from these outdated electronics are a growing pollution that needs to be addressed. There is a reason why there are so many electronics in this world. It is because there is a demand for new cheap electronics. Companies are able to produce these electronics for way cheaper than what they actually cost. I think that there should tariffs on these cheap electronics to drive the price up, and the demand down. But since there are no tariffs, everyone these days seam to have some sort of smart phone. Most of my friends have a iPhone. Since there are two different kinds of iPhone chargers my friends all have different cords and no one can borrow from one another unless you have the right charger port. I have always thought this to be a very smart business move by apple, it gets new or old customers to buy more products from them that they need to run their new iPhone. Leonard writes about this same idea in her article “The Story of Stuff: Electronics”. Annie writes about this business move saying “Designed for the dump means making stuff to be thrown away quickly. Today’s electronics are hard to upgrade, easy to break, and impractical to repair” (Leonard 51). Leonard is stating that electronics are made to be replaced in a reasonably short time and...

...The Origins of Electronic Music Electronic music is produced using mainly electronic instruments in such a way that the focus of the production is mostly on those instruments. Vocals may also be a part of the music, and if they are included they only go together with the electronic aspects to aid the music and are not considered the main focus. Electronic music is very popular today, but what many people don't know is that people were engaged in electronic music even a hundred years ago. Today electronic music is a broad term used for everything that is produced using electronic devices. The surfacing of electronic music started with Thaddeus Cahill in 1897. He invented the teleharmonium, which was seen as the first electronic instrument of the time. This machine was huge and weighed a few tons and it was almost as big as a car. Thaddeus Cahill designed the instrument to listen to music through telephone receivers. It was Thaddeus Cahill's idea to broadcast music in restaurants, hotels, and in people's homes. What he did not realize was that his plan was actually pretty well thought out. Because of him we make massive use of streaming media. In 1919, an instrument for electronic music production called the theremin was invented by a Russian inventor Leon Theremin. The Beach Boys used this theremin instrument in their song "Good Vibrations". With simply moving a right hand along an aerial move , they were able to change the pitch of this instrument. After the World War II...

...Example outline, for Olly Wilson’s Cetus 1) Olly Wilson. Born 1937 in St. Louis, MO. Pianist, composer, conductor, and teacher. Music includes orchestral and chamber works, as well as works for electronic media. In 1971 received a Guggenheim fellowship, used to study West African music and languages, and in 2008 received a Rome Prize. He is also known for establishing the TIMARA (Technology in Music and Related Arts) program at Oberlin Conservatory, the first-ever conservatory program in electronic music. 2) The majority of Wilson’s output is for chamber ensemble or orchestra, a small portion for acoustic instruments and electroacoustic sound, and even less for electroacoustic sound alone, so Cetus, being a piece for stereo acousmatic sound, is in a somewhat unusual medium for Wilson. The piece was created in a tape studio, which Wilson used frequently pedagogically, so the technology used to create this piece was familiar. 3) Cetus (1967) is for stereo acousmatic sound and was realized in the Studio for Experimental Music of the University of Illinois, currently run by Scott Wyatt (whose piece “All Sink” was on the Technosonics concert), that was also used by Xenakis and Cage to create computer music in the 60s. There is heavy use of sine wave oscillators and noise generators (tools of elektronische musik) in this piece, combined with tape editing techniques and effects, but no use (at least perceptibly) of “real world”, musique concréte sounds. 4) The elements present...

...was having the time of my life. I had heard about raves before – loud music, glow sticks, and teenagers wild on drugs. After hearing the horror stories of all the potentially dangerous activity that goes on at raves, I never thought I would end up at one. That’s why when I heard that the event ticket I had bought for one of my favorite DJ’s was actually a rave I was a bit more scared than excited. After experiencing it for myself, however, I stand corrected. Contrary to the stereotype that raves are a place for drug-fueled teenagers to run wild, I believe the experience can be a healthy, fun gathering to enjoy God’s gift to Earth – live electronic music. The main issue society usually has with raves is the amount of drug use usually associated with them. Indeed this also scared me, I was not one to take drugs and the thought of being around thousands of people who were did not appeal to me. However, this fear was all but forgotten when I entered the venue the night of the event. Before entering the concert, I waited in about in a line that stretched half a mile where I got the chance to talk with a lot of the people attending the rave. What I learned from a lot of the people, most who have attended many more raves before this one, was no one wanted a bunch of teenagers high on drugs attending. They said the media exaggerates the drug use at these events and a lot of people simply were there for the music. There was also security at the door that checked every person and their...

...Luis Matos Introduction to Music Term Paper 28 April 2012 The History of Electronic Music Electronic music is one of the most inspiring and artistic forms of music in the world today. Even though electric music is not a new style or form of music, it’s still changing and evolving today. Electric music can vary from instruments like Theremin, synthesizer, and the keyboard to simple computers. These instruments create/synthesize or manipulate sound. Electric music was first introduced in the mid-20th century by Thaddeaus Cahill. He introduced the Dynamaphone which was an array of dynamos that produced many pitches. This was the first instance of electronic music. While this wasn’t a particular instrument it still proved that pitches could be released through electronics. For some time after the Dynamaphone was introduced, there were no real significant advances in electronic music. Many speculated what the “future” of music would sound like, but nothing was introduced until the year 1919. That year was when the Theremin was introduced. “The Theremin is a purely melodic electronic musical instrument typically played by moving the hands in the electromagnetic fields surrounding two projecting antennae” (Webster 1). This instrument was the first and only instrument that could be played without actually touching it. It was created by Lev Termen in Russia. In the United States he is known as non-other than Leon Theremin. This instrument is monophonic and has two rods. One rod...

...pick up the inventories in [2]/ [1] immediately. [3] and [4]: Totalline was given a 15-minute grace period. But the detention will be varied. [4]: The time of offloading will be between 10 minutes to five hours. 2. Based on the article, Totalline delivered almost 20 percent of Electronics International’s electronic products, which is a large percentage. The best way for Totalline is to negotiate with Electronics International warehouse for dedicated doors so that Totalline can simply unload the inventories as soon as they arrived to the warehouse. In addition to reduce the appointment and detention fee for Electronics International, the parking spaces will also be less tension. For the Electronics International, it will have a bigger inventory cycle, so the inventories will be replaced more quickly and enables them to earn more revenue. The early arrival of inventories can be benefit for both parties, therefore, Electronics International will think about it. Comparing with other two alternatives, the negotiation doesn’t generate extra cost for Totalline in terms of extra administrative person, asking for extra dedicated doors will be the best way. The second option is to request Electronics International for pick packaging stickers so that Totalline staff can apply the sticker on their inventories at Totalline consolidation point. By doing this, the time of unloading will be reduced. However, this will need more...

In 2011 the three original members reformed under the band name Mutya Keisha Siobhan with the “original” Sugar Babes still putting out new music and playing their classics. This relates to the Ship of Theseus as the original band members represent the planks and oars of the ship being discarded and replaced.

Creating the issue of who is the original and authentic Sugar Babes. So in this instance, who is the wright full owner of the brand name Sugar Babes who owns this identity, is it the original three girls who wrote the songs that launched the bands career, or the replacements that kept the band going. Should the Mutya Keisha Siobhan have the write to take back the name Sugar Babes, along with the wrights to their songs or did they relinquish that right by leaving the band years before. Where does the loyalty of the fans lay, in those who created the music or those who carry on the legacy? The story of this bands rocky road is a complex...
