One of the most interesting development in recent music development is how technology has allowed new types of musicians to create a whole new genre. In the forefront of this ‘evolution’, Porter Robinson is one of the most famous up-and-coming EDM musician, DJ, and composer. By using sample sounds recorded from an instrument to a sound made purely from electronics, Porter Robinson and his assistants are able to showcase a music that would require a large amount of people to perform the piece. To add on to the previous mentioned comfort, computer generated music allows for a whole new different types of sounds to be created, whereas traditional orchestras may have limited sounds. My favorite piece from Porter Robinson is his collaboration with Madeon, Shelter. I am personally excited to see how far computer music will develop the genres.
