Chapter 4: Folk and Popular Culture - Chapter Notes Ch04.pdf. Electronic art music. Electronic art music refers to those forms of electronic music that fall within the general category of art music.
The term encompasses a range of experimental music forms, both historical and contemporary, created by means of electronic instruments and differentiated from electronic forms of popular music, such as electronic rock, technopop, electronica or electronic dance music. Due to its experimental and eclectic nature, electronic art music has remained relatively obscure and out of the awareness of the general public, receiving little financial support from sales of its creations. The development of electronic art music has mostly been supported by, and occurred within, academic institutions.
It has also been assisted by participation of corporate sponsors through their contributions of experimental equipment as part of their commercial development process.

In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content: Circuit-Bending: Build Your Own Alien Instruments is an insightful book on the subject of circuitbending, an art based on the modification of existing electronic circuits in order to unveil hidden features within them, specifically related to sonic output.
The writer, Qubais Reed Ghazala, is often referred to as the father of circuit-bending, since he accidentally pioneered this art in 1967, when a solid-state amplifier’s circuit was shorted due to contact with a metallic drawer. He witnessed the transformation of the amplifier into a synthesizer, emitting sound effects comparable to those produced by expensive commercial synthesizers. Thus, circuit-bending was born.
