Additionally, the information is designed so that a teacher using this material could easily augment it and apply it to a specific studio or many other unique musical contexts. My hope is that Electronic Music Interactive will be the first stepping stone on the path that prepares the student for further studies and understanding other, more advanced, sources. The newcomer to electronic music may profit most by proceeding linearly, in other words, by reading the discussion from beginning to end. But the information in each segment can fruitfully be used as a reference as well. Once the student has read through Electronic Music Interactive, or has a good working knowledge of the material, this work can serve as a topical refresher course, or quick-check handbook.
Electronic music can teach a musician many things.
Bringing electronic music to life is a wondrously multi-faceted experience. To create sounds, the musician becomes the instrument builder. When selecting notes and rhythms, the musician becomes the composer. As the notes and rhythms are shaped, the musician becomes the performer. And finally, working to balance and coordinate the myriad and complex parts of the musical work, the musician becomes the conductor.
