Evolution of Music Reproduction Technology

INTRODUCTION In 1877, Thomas Edison invented the first gramophone. This is a device that can produce sound by mechanically etching the groove of the wheel cylinder. Edison, which was originally used to play the sound, never foresees the serious influence of his invention on musical consciousness (Koenigsberg, 1969). By doing the first recording, Edison basically catalyzed the sorting of music in time and space. In 1910, the subsequent development of mass production of phonograph records will also bring extensive economic and aesthetic effects.

The history of technology can be thought of as a human evolution parallel evolution experiment. Artifacts (so far) are not self-replicating, but the demographic dynamics of long-term innovation is still similar in many respects to biological evolution. The design of the new technology is strongly influenced by the existing technology, and the change of technology can be regarded as the process of decline accompanied with change and selection. Innovation happens and appropriate background

The impact of technology on contemporary music is extensive. Advances in technology in the last century have revolutionized the way music is produced, sold and heard. In particular, invention and development of samplers, synthesizers, and computer technologies has changed the way we make music today. Version control (the artist remixing tracks from other artists) is a direct result of these new technologies. Junkie XL's Remix (2002) Elvis's "Less talk" is a good example of versioning and shows how technology advances affect modern music.

When the radio is invented, the music we know will change forever. Not only television and music videos, but also other technologies such as recording and copying influenced the times, spreading music to the world. As these revolutionary progress penetrates the culture, the flavor, rhythm, and shape of the music has also made tremendous change and evolution. Every ten years in the 20th century, I found that new voices and new desires are introduced to various things.
