It was a concert which including music for piano and electronic sound. It belongs to the modern music. Modern music, a kind of classic music developed since 20-centuery. They tried to resist against the older rule. Since computers were invented, some musicians have written some music for combining musical instruments and electronic sounds. They use lots of tuneless interval of melody, and then proceed in the computer which including filter, EQ, or so on. Some strange sounds would happen. It breaks the impressions of classic music in the past.

This concert was a kind of this music. Two people, one was playing piano and another was processing the signal by computer at PA. The sounds from grand piano and then pass though the microphone. However, the sounds of real piano and proceed sounds would happen at the same time. It liked the sounds from electrical guitar connecting with effect unit. Moreover, many natural sounds such as wing, river, or white noise even. We had chosen a sit beyond the computer worker who is one of the performers. We could see any action at any moment when the songs were carrying on. He had to change any parameter for different section. Thus, he also had his own music score. On the other hand, the programs sometimes have written by themselves who have lots of scenes of computer program and the audio.


Unfortunately, there were many unexpected problems with computer. Some trouble happened also at the middle of performance. Sometimes, it is hard to check which like our electrical experiment. In sum, this kind of music are still tried a lot these years. Thank to the better computer and audio technology, more and more skills can be used. Even though recording other kinds of music, there are still overdubbing. Nonetheless, some would still dislike this tried, but take it for some arts and we would know that greatest work is not the most beautiful, convey the thought from creator well is more important.
