Electronic music is music whose creation uses electronic musical instruments and technology. Electronic music consists of sounds that are formed using electronic technologies and electromechanical musical instruments.

Today, electronic music includes a large number of different styles from experimental academic music to popular electronic dance music. Continue reading
