MYP Statement of inquiry: Technology has changed the way in which we compose, record and present music.
What is music technology?
Music technology involves composing music online on musical software that helps the musician compose the music.
How has music technology changed the way in which we develop and record sound?
Music technology makes music easier to record as you don't have to specifically know how to play the certain instrument but you can still add it into your piece. For example if you don't know how to play guitar, you can play it on piano and then just change the instrument sound. Music technology has also influenced a new genre of music.
Are we becoming too dependent on music technology?
Yes, I think we are becoming too dependent on music technology as now most singers use autotune and add effects to their voices rather than use their raw material.
Does music technology support or devalue live music making?
I think music technology devalue live music making as it doesn't show the artist's natural ability of music, more like artificial. So when people attend concerts or any live performances, there'll be a drastic difference between the recorded version using the music technology and the live performances.
Is music technology only used in the composition of music, or is it used in other areas also? You have made some good points. Could you have added more than one observation for each question?
