Episode Description
Technology has played an indispensable role in the development of the production, distribution, and the sound of music since the 1980s. The late 19th and the 20th century have seen incredible advances in music technology, but the 1980s seem to be the boiling point when advances in technology influenced the births of more genres of music than ever. It was a time of great economic change, which helped greatly in funding the production and distribution of emerging technologies in electronics and computers. Musicians (and non-musicians) were able to create new forms of music with new electronic instruments My guest, singer song-writer Rebecca Feynberg will explore in depth this trend and perform some of her songs.
