Electronic music
- 2. *Electronic music is very popular nowadays. Today, we use this term as a broad umbrella term for everything that is produced using electronic devices. What only few people are aware of is that even hundred years ago people were engaged in this form of music. *Contrary to what many people speak, the hard electronic music never was but an acoustic sound. They say it’s over, but it actually just broke down into several subgenres. How has electronic music developed? *Thaddeus Cahill in 1897 developed the tele harmonium that was seen as the first electronic instrument. This huge machine weighed seven tons and was as big as a boxcar. The instrument was designed to listen via telephone receivers. It was Cahill’s idea to use the phone to broadcast music in restaurants, hotels and in people’s homes.
- 3. *After the Second World War, the electronic production went into overdrive. This was due to the invention of the tape recorder and primitive synthesizers. A group of composers saw new possibilities; they could make sounds and compositions that were not possible with normal instruments. *Even world famous bands like The Beatles and The Beach Boys were in this age of electronic instruments. The Beach Boys used such a theremin in the song ‘Good Vibrations’. With your right hand along an aerial move, you could change the pitch of this instrument. The first version of this instrument was invented in 1919 by the Russian inventor Leon Theremin. *In early seventies, Germany experimented with many forms of electronic music. And the most famous music group from this time was Kraftwerk. This German group had a major influence on the development of electronic music. Kraftwerk broke in 1974 worldwide with the album “Autobahn”. This album used the minimoog that was an extremely sophisticated synthesizer at that time. The 22-minute title track of this album was in the charts worldwide.
- 5. *While watching the music video, you are able to tell that the video is telling a story and how the camera is able to focus on particular characters presented throughout the video. *Through certain aspects of the video we are able to see that the camera does many extreme close ups with a selective focus. *The mise en scene for the video is also very important because of the way that the camera does extreme close up to certain things such as a hand where a ring is visible or a lamp which gives off the slightly moody atmosphere. *A lot of the shots alternate from a slightly depressing atmosphere where people are all alone to a more energetic atmosphere where people are with a group of friends where they are able to have fun and relax as they are socialising
- 7. *This music Video to do with electronic music is rather different to latch because of the way that latch creates a scene that is reality whereas ‘One more time’ creates and imaginary scene which many humans haven’t been able to experience because it is set out of space. So we are able to tell that it is an animation rather than a story. *The transitions are quite fast however it is interesting to see how the two videos are able to overlap because each scene from the video includes a scene where people or cartoons are socializing with each other. *The audience for the two videos are rather different as ‘One more time’ is more likely to attract a wider ranger whereas ‘latch’ is more likely to attract a younger because of the people that are cast in this one.
- 9. *This music video is more similar to Latch because of the way that it is able to tell a story *The mise en scene is also very important for the music video because of the location that everything is set in because of the way that it is set in a normal location such as a café which is rather similar to Latch where the scene was set in an elevator. *Many of the scenes change quite quickly to a completely different shot such as the shot of everyone drinking which also relates to Latch. It then will do a quick transition in order to see the nature surrounding the shot. *The type of audience that is attracted to this music is mostly younger people as it is very modern rather like Latch. *It is interesting to see how different artist are able to be put in the same category of music even though their music is rather different.
