I chose this article because the title attracted me. I’m into music, instruments and sound and wanted to see what Credo would say about this topic. If he would talk about how music would change.
The title of the article basically tells you about how in the past music was recorded from people playing instruments from the 18th and 19th century. Now music is being produced by electric instruments and how producers can music without intermediary performers, and mentions the pitch and tone. The article says “It is now possible for composers to make music directly, without the assistance of intermediary performers. Any design repeated often enough on a sound track is audible. 280 circles per second on a sound track will produce one sound, whereas a portrait of Beethoven repeated 50 times per second on a sound track will have not only a different pitch but a different sound quality.” He talks about how the music produced by electric instruments will be musical sounds and the rest is noise. It also mentions how new methods to writing music will be discovered.
I think that this article is kind of tells me what it will be like in the future, if I am going to work with sound and music. It gives me a heads up so I know what I would be working with.
