Electronic Music vs. Acoustic Music
● Ever since the first electronic musical device
was plugged in, there’s been a love/hate
relationship between the acoustic and
electronic crowds.
● Acoustic Music: It comprises music that solely
or primarily uses instruments which produce
sound through entirely acoustic means.
● Electronic Music: It comprises music that
employs electronic musical instruments and
technology in its production.
Electroacoustic Music
● Electroacoustic music originated in Western
art music during the modern era following the
incorporation of electric sound production into
compositional practice.
● Best of both.
● Gaining too much popularity.
Music + Mathematics
There's a strong combination between Music
and Mathematics.
DAW
● A digital audio workstation (DAW) is an
electronic system designed solely or primarily
for recording, editing and playing back digital
audio.
● DAWs were originally tape-less,
microprocessor-based systems. Modern
DAWs are software running on computers with
audio interface hardware.

Musical Terminologies
● Pitch: The highness or lowness of sound
measured in Hz. They are compared as
"higher" and "lower" in the sense associated
with musical melodies.
● Tempo: It is the speed or pace of a given
piece. It is a crucial element of most musical
compositions, as it can affect the mood and
difficulty of a piece. Measured in BPM(Beats
Per Minute).
● Beat: An individual stroke of measured time;
the steady pulse of a song.
● Melody: Pitches in sequence that form a
pattern.
● Rhythm: How a sound is placed in time.
● Sample: Piece/portion of the musical sound.
● Loop: Repeating structure of a beat/sample.
Genres
● A music genre is a conventional category that
identifies pieces of music as belonging to a
shared tradition or set of conventions.
● Ex- Blues, African, Country, Asian, Electronic

Pop, Rock, R&B, etc.
