The emergence of the technology and the music genre gives an applause to Leon Scott de Martinville (first recorded sound outlines onto cylinders coated with carbon), the famous Thomas A.Edison ( phonograph), Thaddeus Cahill (Telharmonium), Lee Deforest (Audion) and others.
This was led into a break through in classical music. They began to experiment with this new fascinating existence that expanded their horizons. Leon Theremin made his Etherphone, Luigi Russolo held his first ‘art of noise’ concert based on the Futurist Manifesto. Capturing the ‘real world’ sounds was possible by then; hence, the emergence of electroacoustics music or music concrete. Pierre Schaeffer began to manipulate sounds around him through recordings.
People would go beyond the bounds of what was once defined as music with technology. Nevertheless classical music can never be forgotten. Therefore, it still leaves an influence in the new music genres.
