The way that music is produced has changed radically since the original dawn of music particuarly in the last century.
this is because of the introduction of technology, different types of music can be produced and no longer does the usic have to made using instruments but computer programs installed with various sounds can do the job for the artist.
This enables the artist to alter their song to their desired sound after they have recorded it and they can even change their voice by tweaking out all the bad points and editing the recording to sound better thn before, this means that pratically anyone can become a 'good' singer because if they have the right knowledge in computer production or know someone that does then they dont have to be a good vocalist as long as they edit their voice it will sound good. Many have criticised this and their are a lot of older generation listeners who are against this my dad among them who often quotes "music just isn't the way it used to be' before going on to rant about hows music was when he was alive.
Technology has brought about so many changes to the music industry that unlike in past times when we have had very few main artists being so very sucessful, the market has opened up and now you will find thousands of different bands that have made it into the limelight somewhere along the line and are know nation if not world wide.
These changes with technology have brought about a lot new kinds of music such as 'electro pop' and 'dance and trance' music often refered to as 'club music' this is a very limited form of music in my view and although there are a number of dance songs i like i dont believe it to be very artistic and a lot of the songs are mind numbingly boring to listen to, often with the same computer generated beat running through the song repeatedly. I dont understand how people can get so much praise for this as they have no real musical talent but because they can use a computer well, they are suddenly classed as an 'artist', this just goes to show the dramatic change in the production of music and how it has gone from the real artists to computer geeks that are responsible for producing a lot of todays music market.
