Electroacoustic Music - Sound Generation Techniques

Sound Generation Techniques

All electroacoustic music is made with electronic technology. Some electroacoustic compositions make use of sounds not available to typical acoustic instruments, such as those used in a traditional orchestra. The interaction between sounds and the ways they are transfigured over time has been termed "spectromorphology" by the composer Denis Smalley (Smalley 1997).

Famous quotes containing the words sound, generation and/or techniques:

    “I don’t want to listen; your words sound like the truth but the truth is probably a sin.”
    —Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)

    “Against my will, I became a witness to the most terrible defeat of reason and to the most savage triumph of brutality ever chronicled ... never before did a generation suffer such a moral setback after it had attained such intellectual heights.”
    —Stefan Zweig (18811942)

    “The techniques of opening conversation are universal. I knew long ago and rediscovered that the best way to attract attention, help, and conversation is to be lost. A man who seeing his mother starving to death on a path kicks her in the stomach to clear the way, will cheerfully devote several hours of his time giving wrong directions to a total stranger who claims to be lost.”
    —John Steinbeck (1902–1968)
