Sound Made From Typing?! A Hundred Years of Electroacoustic Music

from Little Pi's Tech Music Tips

Can sound really be made just by typing? From a French engineer splicing tape in 1948 to AI models generating a full arrangement in real time today, the last hundred years of electroacoustic music are really the story of humanity continuously redefining what counts as music. In three minutes, Little Pi walks you through the key turning points: musique concrète, electronic music, programmable composition tools, and today's generative AI.
