Frogtoon Music - Genre information for Tape-Music

Tape Music Is A Form Of Music Which Began Soon After Tape Recording Was Invented As People Could Now Create Sounds That Were For The First Time Identical With Each Performance. Users Of This New Technology Began To Develop A New Musical Ethic Around The Idea Of The Created Artificial Sound As Now Music No Longer Had To Be Related To Live Performance Of Instruments. Now The Recording Itself Was The Performance. Musique Concrète Made Extensive Use Of Magnetic Tape So Much That The Terms "tape Music" And "musique Concrete" Were Sometimes Used Interchangeably Though Strictly Speaking They Are Not Necessarily The Same Thing. Before Recording Technology "music" Referred Only To Live Music. So When The Recording Media First Appeared The Transformation Of The Music Paradigm Was Profound. The Experience Of Listening To Music Was Seldom Repetitive Before Recording Unlike Listening To A Tape Which Is More Or Less Identical At Each Hearing. In Addition This Experience Is Also Shared By Everyone Who Listens To The Same Recording Making Commonality Of Message And Musical Experience A Unifying Social Ritual For The First Time. The Underlying Philosophy Of Tape Music Spawned A Whole New Direction In Musicianship And Music Styles That Would Follow. Electronica New Age Rap And Other Incarnations Are Direct Descendants Of The Original Tape Music Philosophy.
