The innovation of the Tape Recorder and Synthesizer had a great impact on art and on composers. Today, technology has changed the way we make music. In the field of music, there are composers who exclusively work with electronics and machines and not necessarily with performers at all. Their process of writing music down has shifted from using pen and paper to using machinery. The ways today’s composers produce their work is radically different from how the past composers such as J.S. Bach or Beethoven worked.
Listen to this Soundfile: Clouds Forming Over Mount Baker by Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, originally from Orcas Island and currently based in Los Angeles. She uses a Prophet 5 (Links to an external site.) (an analog synthesizer) (Links to an external site.) and Buchla music easel (Links to an external site.) ( an electronic musical instrument) to make the sounds in her piece. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSVrsu-Zdww

After listening to the two soundfiles above, discuss whether electronic music fit with the old school composers model? When we bring in these new tools which change the sound and the creative process does it change the art? Does it matter how the sound made, meaning with traditional instruments or electronics? Is electronic music valued as much as traditional western music? In what way do you think each piece is faithful to traditional classical western music?
And write 2 discussion for J.doc and ar.doc . 5 sentence for each.
Well with the changing times I think the model of music composition also changes just to take advantage of the latest technology and advancements. I mean Bach or Beethoven’s sound vastly different from these electronic compositions, these electronic compositions just mark the changing times. I would not say these advancements change the art per say, I think they allow for greater creativity and craftsmanship on the composer’s part, they allow for new works that go new directions, with greater possibilities for diversity in the composition. For example, the first piece by Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith depicts tones that speak to somber wistfulness of the clouds around the mountain top, and if you enjoy the outdoors that can be really inviting. I do not think it ultimately matters how the sound makes meaning (i.e. traditional or electronic), because ultimately it’s all in the eye of the composer who is inspired to make the art, and the audience who chooses to listen of not based on their own likes and dislikes. It’s hard to say if electronic music is valued as much as traditional western, in my best estimation I would say they are each valued equally. From my experience, there are big audiences for both types that are not going away anytime soon, and frankly who could blame them as they are both enjoyable genres. The first piece uses smooth wavelike melodies with a consonant repeating rhythm, similar to classical works I have heard. The second piece uses much more electronic sounding tones, it also sounds to be in through-composed form.
