Thank you for showing the world that electronic music has a long, interesting history and is not just a "passing fad".

What the hell has Bacon got to do with anything? Homer said similar things does that mean electronic music was invented around 850BC?

In other words, the astronomical, hexagonical progress attributed to the rapid advent of electronic music clearly shows the opening of the collective musical consciousness to new and refreshing concepts, such as microtonality, AIDS, synthetic avuncular thematics, sliding dissonance, processed music, aleatoric music, computer-mediated semantics, and many other very highfalutin and exceedingly complex musical innovations.
-
The origins of electronic music lie in the convergence of many related sociomusical trends beginning with apoplexy and then progressing to necrotizing fasciitis and finally the liberation from the traditional tonal paradigm, which in turn led to atonal music. This overall trend caused music to progress in its sheer ugliness, causing many bespectacled and highly sophisticated professors in conservatories all over the world to masturbate.

wow, the first electronic music had no beat or tempo, we have come so far in just the 80's! even now, we have drastically improved on this!!!!!!!

Elisha Gray invented the first electric musical synthesizer.

@JohnColt The 2nd Telharmonium was housed on two railroad cars & it's not hard to imagine 1,000 pounds 100 times on each car, considering each tone was created by a powerful generator made of machined steel. The triode vacuum tube was yet to be discovered ( actually was discovered around the same time) so the idea of the telharmonium incorporated very primitive and very heavy apparatus to carry out an electrical task. Imagine, electronics weren't even around yet.

What powered the Telharmonium? Electricity sure, but how much?
