Newspaper Articles And others
1)
Dubois, Luke R. "The First Computer Musician." The New York Times [New York] 8 June 2011, The Opinion Pages: n. pag. Print.
This Newspaper article is about one of the first engineers to start musical work on a computer. The person in mind is Max Matthews, he was responsible for making the first controlled sounds on a computer. And while he was at it, he also made one of the first, event schedulers. Anyway, Max Matthews laid the foundation or the primary research on most aspects of computer music and he did this because his idea of the computer, was one that gives humans alot more power to do things such as communicate and such. This was not a common idea back then and that's what made Max and his work revolutionary. This source is in the opinion section of the news paper so we know, that there is a clear bias on the article, and based on the writing, the author seems to be biased to leading the reader to believe the amazing things that Max Matthews had done in his time.

Knoedelseder, William K. "Recording Studios." Los Angeles Times 4 July 1988. Print.
This source focuses on the importance and the changes cause by the recording studio. Although this source is very outdated in terms on technology, it provides a good idea of how recording studios started out and the impact that they made at the time. This article really doesn't focus as much on the technical aspects on how recording studios and computers changed music, however it really talks about how these studios for music affected the society around the city, and how album releases were affected on an economic level. The author does sneak a little information on how the Beatles album was recorded and explains the process, however the real take away from the article is the price tags labeled throughout and the artists that are being affected.

Marc, Jenny. "Teaching Music of a Different Kind." The New York Times 2 Sept. 2013. Print.
This Newspaper article talks about recent students and their introduction to a musical course that would affect their lives. This is mainly related to the current topic due to the fact that this music was electronic music and slowly, instrumentation is being shifted to the computer and this article just shows that programmers make music on top of the original musicians.

The following source is an image of a recent EDM making software. The image is based on the piano roll of the soft ware and if you look, you will see that the music being displayed is all small dots and lines. I chose this source to see the shift that music has taken in terms of reading music. No longer is there sheet music or a staff or anything, now there is a piano roll and a bunch of dots being displayed on a screen and the length of the dot describes the length of the note being played. This is a totally new was of creating music and that's what computers have slowly done.

Serra, Joan. "The Computer as Music Critic." The New York Times 15 Sept. 2012. Print.
This article is just another article highlighting the new advances in technology that we as a society have come across over the last few years. However this time they are talking about computers becoming average music critics and instead of humans people can go to the computer to receive feedback. This is just one of the many new things that are slowly surfacing through the media and hopeful ideas for the present and the future. Although the article doesn't completely focus on the music critic part rather the part of what exactly computes go through and their abilities. The article is still resourceful in answering what a computer does and how it does it.
