An Enhancive Look Towards The Music Making

An ever changing desire on our own culture to find new music has been favoured by our generation to experience an incredibly wide variety of electronic genres. From electro-soul to progressive and deep house to tropical house and even future bass, we are currently watching the rise of so many different sub genres of music that are hard to fathom. Electronic music has been gradually growing in popularity over the past decade and with so many new types of music being released on a daily basis it is hard to imagine where the music 'will be in 5 years from today? Although music has been constantly evolving for thousands of years, it has somehow managed to keep its beautiful structure and melodic existence. The music production techniques made great strides in the last few decades, resulting in our current era of digital sound recording. Most traditional genres of music carry an inherent component of performance, but as music technology advances the aspect of live creation seems to diminish. The emphasis on traditional instrument is reduced in electronic music, as the producer utilizes the DAW fully from synths and drum machines to MIDI devices and sampling to create their material. Gradually the art of music production evolved from mere a recording device to a fully matured instrument, making it more complex.

When the edm craze first kicked off around 2010 it was thriving as a mostly instrumental genre, with vocal collaborators showing up on the occasional track. As the lines between electronic music and pop blurred in recent years, we have seen a rise in vocal collaborations on dance records that has given producers an edge on the chart, while shifting the emphasis away from the sound design and music production back to more traditional songwriting. Artists like Jack u, The Chain Smokers, Calvin Harris have climbed the pop charts with their vocal driven dance hits and crossed over to mainstream. If the trend of fusing traditional songwriting and dance music continues, it seems natural to expect more mainstream electronic acts to make the switch djing to live performance. There are tons of electronic artists, pushing the limits of live music by implementing their own customized performance system in their shows. These set ups are quite varied but usually feature a mixture of midi controllers, keyboard, outboard synths, drum machines, electronic drum pads as well as the presence of a live vocalist. Live shows give artists the opportunity to engaged with their audience in a unique and memorable way. The nature of electronic music grants a futuristic wave to musicians; the ability to stretch the limits of traditional performance. The technology is advancing to the point that musicians can hobble together with some compelling live kits, and its going to be exciting to see how this aspect advances in the future. Its great time for performers to push the limits of live electronic music and fill a longstanding void in the genre.

The use of computers to produce and modify sounds has given artists more control over their work, it makes them more creative and happy with the result they obtain. Traditional instruments are also going to be used, they are not going anywhere. But electronic music is here to improve the way music is produced and to enhance the overall music experience of the average listeners. Electronic music uses human intellect to progress and it’s a unison of technology and science. If we have a look on the past and present movements in the style of electronic music, we see that it has always been about the future and futurism. Composers and producers have always strived towards the futuristic sounds, electronic elements, analogue sounds and now finally they are enjoying the digital era of music, which is about to be settled in the future.Top of Form

There is no doubt that the future of electronic music is bright and it will be a great time of elation to watch its progress over the next couple of years. But with the discovery of new technologies in the past years music has been experiencing quite the transformation. Most melodies we hear today on the radio these days have been made using an electronic device and most sounds are not produced by a real instrument but by a computer/laptop. As these sounds are quite pleasing to human ears; most people has accepted these type of music as manual. This new type of music has also led to the creation of new music genres that make an extensive use of electronic sounds in their melodies. A hundred years ago No one expected music to change as much as it did in our current generation. Many may argue that electronic music in it purest sense should not actually be considered real music. Some people of the younger generation may think that electronic melodies are not just real music but they are actually the future of it and its the music what we are going to be hearing in the coming years. There is no doubt that electronic music has been growing successfully and new artists who dedicate their career to electronic music emerge everyday. New genres of electronic music keep being created while others disappear but that's just how music works and been working for the past centuries.
