Electro: musical instruments & electronic music

When we think of music: we assume a concert with obviously musical instruments. When we think of electronic music, we imagine many things, we think of beats that hit, type, tap until the end of the night, a nice melody but especially electroacoustic sounds.

 

Electroacoustic music

But kézako: electroacoustic  music is simply the term defining music not exclusively instrumental, whose sounds are recorded and reproduced by computers and, we will not hide it, we like these bizarre sounds that make us hover.

But the musical instruments in there, where are they? Laurent Garnier was one of the first to invite saxophonists and guitarists to make fiery sets on techno and deep-house beats. We still remember a remarkable performance by Jeff Mills with the Montpellier Philharmonic Orchestra in 2007. An incredible performance that will silence all the critics of electronic music. And yes, it's not just sound but music. Listen for yourself:

Musical instruments

Nevertheless, with technology, more and more new instruments are being created for electronic music today. Thus, since 2012, electronics and computers have made it possible to create a new generation of musical instruments. The advantage is that it is no longer necessary to have musical knowledge and suddenly, everyone can get started and can create melodies in harmony with a chosen orchestration. Do not make them old by saying it was better before because there is room for everyone.

Even if, between us, hearing a Bakermat set with an accompaniment on sax and violin always gives more thrill. (Yes well I'm old school, get into guitar lessons, it would be my dream old rocker to see an electro set accompanied by electric guitar more often)

Besides, to my DJ friends who are lazy to go to the conservatory (yes we are over 16 years old) and who have stopped Guitar Hero: do not worry, there are courses on the internet. I have a friend who gives it through his site.

You will only miss the guitar and other accessories that you can find here at low prices and so you will make me dream.

I leave you on a beautiful piece on objects of everyday life. (Personally I'm not a fan)
