| Abstract | Electronic music opens the door to acoustical phenomena of a kind which is still unknown in contemporary music. It demands new principles of artistic production which cannot be derived from playing on electronic musical instruments, but only from the sound itself, which is its raw material. This present issue is the first attempt to summarize the technical, acoustical and musical requirements underlying electronic music. The Cologne electronic-music group, which is so far the only one of its kind, in cooperation with acoustics experts, technicians and musicians, has developed a priori methods for the production of "electronic music." |
