This accessible Introduction explores both mainstream and experimental manifestations of electronic music. From early recording equipment to the most recent multimedia performances, the history of electronic music is full of interesting characters, fascinating and unusual music, and radical technology. Covering many different eras, genres and media, analyses of works appear alongside critical discussion of central ideas and themes, making this an essential guide for anyone approaching the subject for the first time. Chapters include key topics from synth pop to sound art, from electronic dance music to electrical instruments, and from the expression of pure sound to audiovisuals. Highly illustrated and with a wide selection of examples, the book provides many suggestions for further reading and listening to encourage students to begin their own experiments in this exciting field.

Perhaps too complete…
Just about everything you ever wanted (or didn’t want) to know about the history and equipment of electronic music. 12 page references for just the DX7! Great bedtime reading.

A very well written intro to the subject. Covers synthpop and techno etc very well without being condescending.

Favoloso manuale, malgrado l’inglese, per entrare nel mondo della musica elettro acustica, la sua storia e le sue caratteristiche pregnanti. Spedizione puntuale.
