Hello everyone, especially Simone. I would like to delve into a discussion about electronic music, but to be honest, I don't really know where to start; I am just driven by the desire to introduce this unusual way of producing sounds to those who are naturally interested. Personally, I love music in all its forms, as long as it gives me pleasure when listening to it.
The first time I heard about digital music was when my theory and solfeggio teacher, Maestro Marco Dibeltulu, played one of his compositions for me; at first, I was perplexed, but then it began to become pleasant. I believe it is a true form of art that is far from easy to achieve.
Anyone who wishes to listen to some tracks (I recommend the tracks “micro clima” 1 and 2, both easy to listen to and an homage to the land of Sardinia) by Maestro Dibeltulu can connect to this site http://www.designed2meet.org/locations.php
Hi Giovanni, very well. Consider that electronic music is a genre that has developed since the early '60s if I remember correctly. I should have a book somewhere that was given to me at a convention at the University of Tor Vergata in 2005 called "Interfacce". It was indeed a common meeting place for musicians, 3D animators, and writers, very interesting. An electronic music scholar wrote this very book in which the first electronic synthesizers were depicted and explained, in which through the use of some "cranks" it was possible to choose the type of output wave with the relative change in "timbre" (square wave, sine wave, sawtooth wave, etc.), the phase and thus the phase shift of the wave, the composition of waves, the output frequency, some filters including RL and RLC filters (Resistance - Inductance, Resistance - Inductance - Capacitor) and other filters that together composed the various low-pass, high-pass, and band-pass filters. The antipodes of electronic music are therefore anything but digital. Today, on the contrary, we have software capable of emulating such signals digitally. Obviously, the compositional philosophy of electronic music tracks deviates completely from the classical standard and often in some "Jam Sessions" these musical compositions are paired with moving images, most of the time in an abstract style. At that convention, for example, I remember that one of these compositions was paired with a 3D animation; thus, one saw the cooperation of two different artistic currents joined together to achieve a goal: that of the music created by a musician and that of the image entrusted to a 3D programmer. Electronic music was therefore born to follow technology and keep up with the times. I listened to "Micro Clima"; it would be interesting if your Maestro wanted to sign up to delve deeper into this subject, perhaps by opening a new section (Electronic Music) dedicated to his genre.
Regards,
Simone

I will propose it to him as soon as possible, I hope he accepts.
I would like to add and emphasize that modern digital and computer technology has allowed not only the emulation of electronic (and non-electronic) sounds produced analogically, but, more importantly, it has enabled the possibility of real-time control and processing of those same sounds, opening a new world to music!
Therefore, the increase in computing power has not only sped up the production of complex sounds (perhaps half an hour at home instead of three days paid at a computing center), but it has also allowed for real-time control, thus allowing them to be entrusted from the composer to the performer.
