Talk:Electroacoustic music

message: Why don't we merge ALL the techno music things together? And just have a little paragraph for each of the different genres.The Clydelishes Clyde 17:54, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I assume by "techno" you mean electronic music, because electroacoustic music is not techno. The reason why not is because there is a lot to be said about some of the different genres which can actually be referenced. - Zeibura (Talk) 19:06, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Merging

message: Why is prepared guitar, third bridge-guitar, Keith Rowe, Audio feedback (as a playing technique), circuit bending missing in this article? There too many subjectivity (heavily hanging on the academic classical art music) in this topic. Please put in something about other forms of electroacoustic sound too. Electroacoustic is not only electronic music.Houtlijm 18:03, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Missing information

message: It would be helpful for readers if there was a distinction made bewteen the historal usage of the term in western art music and the more recent adoption of the term by non-academics; to describe any type of electronically augmented acoustic emanation. This whole muddle surrounding definitions would quickly vanish. It seems people are all to eager to forget the vast body of work that exists as a result of academic enquiry and avant garde experimentation; because populism is currently in vogue.Semitransgenic (talk) 16:32, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Definitions 

message: I found the intro not particularly informative.  I have no idea what electroacoustic music is, and the first paragraph didn't help me at all, instead immediately launching into history (which is also the first section.)  Can someone edit to provide a (reductive, if necessary) summary definition?Asasa64 (talk) 00:19, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: it's a vague term as it stands, and here we are trying to limit the definition to the use of the term in academic music circles (for the sake of simplicity) and in that context the lead pretty much spells it out. Really it's just a label that composers working in the field of so-called "serious music" (Western art music) decided to use when describing what it was they were doing (combining instrumental music in the Western art music tradition with electroacoustic technology).

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The section regarding methods used for generating sound had been pared down so far that it became useless, so I removed it for now. It has potential, as the genre employs a broad range of techniques and technologies, but this would require quite a bit of research to source. Methods for controlling sound output could also be touched upon, though this is equally, if not more, complex. cheers! — VariousDeliciousCheeses (talk) 22:32, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sound generation techniques 

message: It seems many people when adding the genre tags include this just because some source uses the descriptor of "electro-acoustic", which is about as useful as tagging everything that gets described as "romantic" under Romanticism (music) or anything which gets called "hardcore" in passing as Hardcore (electronic dance music genre). Could we try to enforce the fact that this is specifically an academic music (and adjacent) genre? 181.115.61.40 (talk) 04:20, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: it's not that simple, we can't "enforce" anything, we can only insist on proper sourcing using WP:RS. There is also the issue of the term not only being a 'genre' descriptor but also a broad term for any form of music that employs electronic technology to augment the production of sound. Historically, within 'serious' and academic music domains the latter is all it meant. Personally I think the term is a quaint anachronism.  Acousmana 08:39, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
