Re: Historical Roots
Electronic music started earlier then most people probably think. Before Kraftwerk, Giorgio Moroder, or even Frankie Knuckles there were all these abstract tape loop artists in france (circa 1950's). Essentially what they were doing was setting up sonic environments where the sounds were created precisely for the space which they were played in. The goal of the artist was to have the sounds completely transform the environment and send the listener into some sort of trance. If it weren't for this, we all could say goodbye to what we love.
