Who really invented electronic music?

Caveman
>>
>>65148992
I don't know but RDJ perfected it
>>
Aphex invented most of the modern dance music genres we have today
>>
>>65149005
looool
>>
Whoever the Russian who invented the theremin was.
>>
>>65149042
He's right
>>
>>65149050
which genres did he invent exactly?
>>
>>65149045
His name was Leon Theremin.
>>
>>65149050
>>65149005
>implying Sleazy didn't do that
LMAO
>>
>>65149050
Objectively wrong since house, techno, breakbeat and trance all existed before he began recording and he had nothing to do with UKGarage so thats all the dance genres gone, whats that leave exactly?
>>
>>65149073
pretty sure he did dubstep like 15 years before skrillex
>>

Halim, but Schaeffer was the first to record it.
>>
>>65149154
Yeah man
>>
>>65149183
Neither Aphex Twin nor Skrillex are dubstep you twat
>>
>>65149073
APHEX TWIN BTFO

DID NOTHING FOR ELECTRONIC MUSIC

>>65148992
Well 1950s and 1960s Stockhausen and Babbit still haven't been topped. They didn't invent electronic music, Leon Theremin did with the first electronic instrument. Well him or the Ondes Martenot guy. Stockhausen and Babbit just defined it. and their definition stands across all genres to this day.

please tell me how aphex beat tempa and dmz to the punch
>>
>>65149005
Aphex Twin is alright, but i wish he would not allow himself any repetitions, and would go faster in developing his ideas or his findings, because I don’t appreciate at all this permanent repetitive language.

I think it would be very helpful if he listened to the piece Faster Harder Scooter, which is electronic music, and a young boy’s voice singing with himself. Because he would then immediately stop with all these post-African repetitions, and he would look for changing tempi and changing rhythms, and he would not allow to repeat any rhythm if it were varied to some extent and if it did not have a direction in its sequence of variations.

No

HIS NAME WAS ROBERT PAULSON

>>65148992
No one person, really. How many people have ever just invented a brand new genre completely by themselves? (Props if you actually find a real example, I sure can't.)

It doesn't matter anyway.
>>
>>65150482
King crimson's Discipline invented mathrock.
>>
Pierre Schaffeur invented it
Stockhausen made it into a thematic structured form
Wankers in the 70s and 80s corporatized it
>>
>>65150482
Miles Davis, cool and smooth jazz

:^)
>>
>>65150493
>>65150531
No, I mean a whole genre, not just a subgenre. Math Rock and Modal Jazz maybe, but what about Rock and Jazz in general? The same is true with the whole of electronic music, rather than a subgenre like Synthpop or Techno.

Electronic came about by many people simultaneously, when computers and other means of creating it came about, me thinks.

Nothing to do with that. Someone invented computers and waveforms oscillator, other people discovered you could make music with it

Electronic music is such a broad and vague term. Is it the music created with use of electronic devices as sound sources? Is dub for example considered to be electronic music? Is concrete music and other experimetnal mumbo-jubo electronic?
I guess so.
It seems that recording techniques matter too when we're trying to define electronic music.
After all electronic music, I guess, is about tools and emphasizing these tools.
After all only one man can be truly attributed to the invention of electronic music: Adolf Hitler.
>>
>>65151196
Thats what electronic music means yeah, music produced using electronic instruments.

brian eno invented ambient music. truly a genius move. ambient spawned drone and all that. aphex twin invented electronic dance music that isnt techno.

electronic music was firstly done in the eary 1900

ahahahahahaha

>>65151649
Eno came up with the name "ambient music", but he wasn't the first to make static relaxing music that has the effect of ambient. Erik Satie, Miles Davis and Steve Reich (to name a few) had already done that before Eno.

RDJ invented nothing. Name any style he's worked in, and someone else will have done it before him.
>>
>>65151736
Yeah I love RDJ to death but most of what he's done is just expansions upon others work. He perfected some genres but he didn't invent anything.
>>
>>65148992
This topic is dumb. Something happends when human have new things arround: their creative mind find new ways to use something. And that's what happened with electronic music. A lot of people from different places started to experiment with the posibility of manipulate recorded or synthesized sounds. It's not something that one guy alone made and then everybody copy him, this is one of the most ridiculous ways to analyze human actions
>>
In 1942 French composer and theoretician Pierre Schaeffer began his exploration of radiophony when he joined Jacques Copeau and his pupils in the foundation of the Studio d'Essai de la Radiodiffusion nationale. It was here that Schaeffer began to experiment with creative radiophonic techniques using the sound technologies of the time.

Contemporaneous to Schaeffer conducting his preliminary experiments into sound manipulation was the activity of Egyptian composer Halim El-Dabh. As a student in Cairo in the early to mid-1940s he began experimenting with "tape music" using a cumbersome wire recorder. He recorded the sounds of an ancient zaar ceremony and at the Middle East Radio studios processed the material using reverberation, echo, voltage controls, and re-recording.

Other visionaries existed but the most prominent of all was most likely that of a Swedish artiste who utilising electronic instrumentation available along with rubber plants and ripping paper put out one of, if not the most important electronic works of all time; Magenta Circuit.
