    LESSON 3:

    MODERN
    MUSIC
    ELECTRONIC MUSIC
    It is defined as music that involves
    electronic processing of the output.

    This includes musical instruments such


    as synthesizers and electronic
    instruments, as well as recordings, tape
    recordings, and editing and processing
    done digitally using computers. 2
    AUDIO FREQUENCY
    OSCILLATORS
    First appeared in the 1920s. These
    instruments are wave generators that
    produce pure tones. These include
    electromechanical and electronic
    musical instruments specifically the
    electronic organ.
    3
    THEREMIN
    A sonophonic sound-
    producing instrument
    invented by Léon Theremin in
    the 1920s. Unlike most
    instruments, it is played
    without physical contact.
    Instead, the musician controls
    the pitch and volume of the 4
    sound by moving their hands
    MUSIQUE CONCRÉTE
    In 1948, musical compositions created with
    edited magnetic tape collages began. This
    was called musique concréte.

    5
    KARLHEINZ
    One of theSTOCKHAUSEN
    most prominent
    German composers of the
    20th century. He made
    groundbreaking work in the
    field of electronic music. His
    composition "Gesang der
    Jünglinge"(song of the Youth)
    is considered one of the
    masterpieces of electronic 6
    EDGARD VARÈSE
    The Father of
    Electronic Music. His
    compositions, which
    emphasized timbre
    and rhythm, were
    made of "sound
    masses".
    7
    CHANCE MUSIC
    It can be called "aleatory music",
    belongs to the 20th-century music
    genre, in which chance is given to a
    performer in the realization and
    performance of the composition. This
    compositional genre opens itself to
    improvisation by simply giving
    directions and guide as to how the
    8
    music is to be played.
    JOHN CAGE
    One of the innovative
    composers of 20th century
    Western music. Cage was
    born on 5 September 1912
    in New York City. His
    unorthodox style in
    composition influenced
    composers after his time. 9
    JOHN CAGE
    He studied under expressionist composer
    Arnold Schoenberg among other prominent
    musicians during his formal music studies in
    Seattle from 1938 to 1940. As a composer,
    he created works for dance as he
    collaborated with choreographer and
    dancer Merce Cunningham, with whom he
    had a long-term creative and personal 10
    relationship.
    JOHN CAGE
    Cage started composing with the 12-tone
    technique, which was introduced by his
    teacher, eventually veering toward
    ambiguous creative styles. One of his
    experiments was "to prepare" a piano. In
    this task, Cage would place screws, bolts,
    and rubber strips between piano strings to
    produce a rather different timbre than the 11
    usual sound of piano strings.
    JOHN CAGE
    Cage is known for his composition 4' 33".
    This is a work for any instrument wherein
    the performer or instrumentalist would do
    nothing with his or her instrument for four
    minutes and 33 seconds. In this
    composition, the goal of Cage was to let his
    audience listen to the ambient sound and
    its spontaneity, instead of the sound 12
    created by the instrument.
