 American electronic music | | In the United States, sounds were being created electronically and used in composition,
as exemplified in a piece by Morton Feldman called Marginal Intersection. This piece is
scored for winds, brass, percussion, strings, 2 oscillators, and sound effects of riveting,
and the score uses Feldman's graph notation.The Music for Magnetic Tape Project was formed by members of the New York School and lasted three years until 1954. Cage completed Williams Mix in 1953 while working with the Music for Magnetic Tape Project. The group had no permanent facility, and had to rely on borrowed time in commercial sound studios, including the studio of Louis and Bebe Barron. | | Japan Electronic Music | | In 2004,an independent music producer from south America released an electronic album
called The Kyoto Connection under a Creative Commons License. Two years later, "The Second
Voyage" was released to the public. | | German Electronic Music | | Germany has the largest electronic music scene in the world. The band Kraftwerk was
one of the first bands in the world to make music entirely on electronic equipment, and
the band Tangerine Dream is often credited as being among the originators and primary
influences of the "Berlin School" of electronic music, which would later influence trance music
Some other bands like Liaisons Dangereuses, Deutsch-Amerikanische Freundschaft and
Die Krupps created a style later called Electronic body music. | | Mexican electronic Music | | Electronic music in Mexico is mostly centered around dense urban areas or resorts, like
Acapulco, Cancún, Ciudad Juárez, Guadalajara, Mexico City, Monterrey, Puebla and
Tijuana. These cities enjoy frequent rave parties and events, but some also contribute to
the movement. Electronic music is by far most popular among young people and has
been getting stronger in Mexico over the last ten years. It is heavily influenced by
American and European disco music. | | Australian Electronic Music | | Electronic music in Australia emerged in the 1990s, but takes elements from funk, house,
techno, and numerous other genres. Early innovators of the genre in Australia include
Severed Heads, who formed in 1979 and were the first electronic group to play the Big Day Out
The band achieved long term success, winning an ARIA Award in 2005 for "Best
Original Soundtrack" for The Illustrated Family Doctor, where lead singer Tom Ellard
said the band would never fit into mainstream music. | | Dutch electonic Music | | In the early 90's, Dutch DJ's developed a style of electronic dance music called gabber.
The style was developed in reaction to the commercialization of house music and was
heavily influenced by early hardcore from Frankfurt and New York. The DJs stripped the
music of what they perceived as excess sounds, Songs were reduced to a high-speed
monotonous beat, of sometimes over 260 beats per minute. One of the tracks often cited
as the first gabber track is "Yaaaah" by Amsterdam-based D-Shake. | |
