TURNTABLISM ALONG ELECTRONIC MUSIC HISTORY It’s the 21st century and computers are taking over almosteverything, as
they can make decisions and do things much faster than people. Ofcourse,
music industry is not the exception, as people have been usingtechnology
to express their musical ideas, tell stories and transmit emotions in meaningful ways for decades. Many of today’s popular artists use computers to record, produce and create compositions. Because of this,we
have all had an encounter with electronic music at some point, we’ve enjoyed it at a party and some of us even listen to it on a regularbasis,
whether it is to help us concentrate or be more energetic. THE BEGINNINGS OF ELECTRONIC MUSIC Computer music and electronic music are not as young as we may think, although the concept of it brings an idea of high and sophisticatedtechnology to mind.
The genre holds a deep and rich history through time, having its rootsat the
middle of the 18th century, with electro-acoustic instrumentation,more
precisely the Denis d’or, which was a one-off keyboard instrument developed in 1753 that had the ability to imitate the sounds of windand
string instruments, and the Clavecin électrique, an instrument builtin 1759
that used electricity to create musical sound aided by a staticelectrical
charge to vibrate metal bells. These instruments were constructedalmost a
century before the phonautograph, the earliest known device for sound recording, that, at the same time, was invented 20 years beforeThomas
Edison invented the phonograph. The phonautograph recorded sound and made sound waves visible on paper. Before that, sound had been invisible and temporary since the beginning of time. Shortly afterward the phonograph, the idea of the phonautograph was adapted into a disc music player and the gramophone was born in 1887, along with vinyl records, which were a huge uproar in the early 19th century. The record was a disk, about twice the size of what we know today as a CD, and it would be placed on top of the gramophone. Then, a needle would be placed on top of it and move across the disk, creating sound vibrations that were amplified through a speaker. Later, in 1930, the turntable was developed. TURNTABLES THROUGH TIME The turntable has taken music into a whole new journey full of ups and downs for over the last 60 years; it has been used as a musicalinstrument
since the 1940s and 1950s, when experimental composers began sampling and creating music entirely produced by this device, allowing a newgenre of
sound, artistic skill and culture emerge in the music history. Nevertheless, its success was not that evident at the beginning, butit made
a huge progress in the 1970s. The emergence of a new music genre, hiphop,
allowed the use of turntables to become a modern art. People called‘Disk
Jockeys’, also referred to as ‘DJs’ or turntablists, wereperformers and
musical artists who used the turntables to play multiple songs atparties and
concerts, manipulating the sound and creating original compositions. For many hip hop connoisseurs, DJs Kool Herc, Grandmaster Flash and Afrika Bambaataa are the predecessors of turntablism. Throughpractice
they acquired an astounding ability to find precise points ina song by
dropping the needle on a record and developed extremely high levels of hand eye coordination. Kool Herc is widely recognised for developing the ‘break-beat’, atechnique
that extends the song’s climax indefinitely. Inspired by Herc,Bambaataa
expanded awareness of break-beat deejaying through his famous street parties. Then, it was the Grand Wizard Theodore, an apprentice of Grandmaster Flash, who created ‘scratching’, the sound made whenthe
record is rubbed back and forth. Early DJs used scratches and break bats to go along rap and hip hoplyrics.
However, it wasn’t until the 1990s that the term ‘turntablism’became a
concept, an event that marked a significant evolution in the role ofthe disk
jockey (DJ), which had been evolving for two decades. During the 1990s, DJs began to manifest what they could really createas
artists and a range of new scratches were born, inventing more sophisticated turntable techniques. DJs Spinbad, Cash Money and JazzyJeff
transformed turntablism by inventing the ‘Transformer scratch’.After that
came the Beat Juggling, which is perhaps the most importantdevelopment
of the decade in terms of turntablism and electronic music, as iteffectively
evolved manipulating and reinventing existing tracks to composingmusic.
THE ART OF TURNTABLISM Turntablism is described today as the art of manipulating andmodifying an
original reproduced audio source, in order to create new music, sound effects, mixes and other sounds and beats, using as the main musical instrument the dish or turntable. This instrument is completed mainlywith
the use of vinyl records and crossfader equipped DJ mixers, computers, control interfaces, effect units, and other similar implements. In terms of DJ culture, turntablism is said to express and represent creativity at its maximum splendor, since turntablists manage to notonly
keep record samples in endless loops, but also to move the recordswith
their hand to cue the stylus to exact points on them, and touch ormove the
platter to stop, slow down, speed up, spin backwards, or move back and forth (also known as the “scratching” effect, a key part of hiphop music),
all while mixing, shifting and manipulating the sounds to suit themood and
obtain the reaction they are looking for. Still today, turntables and vinyl records are the basic equipment ofDJs in
clubs and music festivals. It owes its popularity and probablysalvation
mainly to hip hop culture, being one of the longest lastingtechnologies still
popular nowadays. No matter how many technologies attempt to replaceit,
like the cassette tape, then the CD, then the MP3, DJs are stillplaying with
their vinyl tracks on their turntables, as records bring a particulartype of
atmosphere which people find pleasing. A large number of turntablists around the world keep innovating to establish their own signature styles, with artists rediscoveringthemselves
to be the fastest, most creative players of their instrument. Turntablism continues to evolve, and electronic music is stillconsidered
one of the achievements of the twentieth century in music history, asusing
electronic media contributed tremendously to develop the possibilitiesof
making new, creative music and affected musical evolution in manydifferent ways.

6 FRENCH INDIE ELECTRONIC BANDS WORTH ADDING TO YOUR GO-TO PLAYLIST If you enjoy the melody and simplicity of Indie Pop and the sonic experimentation of Electronic sounds, here are some Indietronic groups worth checking out, all of them sharing their roots from France, acountry
very well known for their great, deep-rooted culture of local music,but also
for having great French pop artists and DJ’s who are recognizedoutside
their country’s borders.TEENAGE BAD GIRL
The Parisian electronic band, supported and playlisted since thebeginning
of their short career by electronic music influencers such as Mylo,Chloé
Thévenin, Justice, Yuksek, and many others, consists of GuillaumeManbell
and Greg Kazubski. They mix beats and vocals connecting house and electronic genres, employing the aggressive analogue synth lines and percussions they have remained a staple of the French electro wavefor,
although with a low profile. Interestingly they have a unusual background story, as both membersmet
on Soulseek, the famous file-sharing network mostly used to exchange music; they both shared a strong interest for punk rock and electronic sounds. “We both played in punk-rock bands with friends, makingmusic
when we should have been studying.” says Manbell. It is said by the passionates about electronic music that they are agenetic
mix of Daft Punk, Aphex Twin & The Stooges. Their latest album,Backwash,
was released back in 2011, and it is the result of a project “morebased on
ideas”, in words of the duo.BIRDY NAM NAM
French quartet Birdy Nam Nam has implemented mixtures ofdifferent
genres since the beginning of the band; they make content entirely outof
their turntables and have presented a mix of jazz, funk, and downtempo sound. In addition, they often experiment with hip-hop bases andplenty of
electronic elements. For that reason, it would be difficult to catalog them within a singlegenre,
but their style can essentially be defined as Indie, Electronics,French
Indietronica, Filter House and Turntablism. Since their formation in 2001 their goal has always been to prove thatthe
possibilities the turntable can offer as a real musical instrument tocreate
new rhythms are unlimited. They have won several awards during their career, such as the 2002 DMC World DJ Team Championship before and the Electronic or Dance revelation of the year at Victoires de la Musique,an
annual French award ceremony that recognizes the best musical artists. Dance or Die is the name of their last album, released in 2016, whichshows
a noticeable evolution in their tracks. Their style of turntablismcombined
with abstract hip-hop that was one remarkable is a little less presenton this
album, as heavy motorized electro beats designed for performing livetake
over to keep the crowd out of their seats and dancing.ACID ARAB
Formed by Guido Minisky and Hervé Carvalho in 2012, and later on expanded while creating their debut album ‘Musique de France’ toinclude
Pierrot Casanova and Nicolas Borne, Acid Arab is influenced by a setof
Eastern sounds and
Arabic melodies, which offer a wide range of percussions, strings and melodic instruments, embraced by the genresof
house and techno. In their own words, the project first started “asa concept,
then a Facebook group, then a party, then (almost) a genre, then itwas us.”
After their first album, that features some guest vocalists and instrumentalists, including Rizan Said, Jawad El Garrouge and keyboard player Kenzi Bourras (who was at first their keyboardist for live setsand
then fully incorporated into the band), Acid Arab have been performingat
over 260 shows clubs and festivals worldwide.THE PIROEUTTES
Starting from a very techno-pop base of the 80s and embracing thesounds
of late ’70s synth-pop, as well as elements of retro wave, R&B andhip hop
genres, the duo is enjoying increasing popularity around the worldsince the
release of their first album. The Pirouettes consists of Leo Bear Creek and Vickie Chérie, a couplefrom
Annecy in France. They were formed in 2011 and have released 2 EPs and2
full length albums, their latest one being “Monopolis” from 2018. They are really independents as they manage to get everything relatedto
marketing, promotion and distribution done by themselves: they havetheir
own label, and Vickie is the one in charge of the whole visual aspectof the
band, including covers, the graphic design of the albums and some ofthe
music videos.
“Basically, our style is based on the French variety of the 70s and80s. Our
first EPs were more referenced, and they had a strong 80’s sound.Today, I
believe (I hope) that we have really achieved the modern sound that isour
own: the sound of The Pirouettes”, Leo stated during an interviewwith
France.fr.
CAMP CLAUDE
Three visionary minds, four countries, and one common desire toreinvent
and inspire through unique sounds. Camp Claude was born in 2013 in Paris, with American-French Diane Sagnier at the microphone, and the work of talented composers, the Englishman Mike Giffts and the Swede Léo Hellden, both members of the group Tristesse contemporaine. They usually define their style as ‘Sky Wave’, a middle pointbetween a
creative fusion of rock and pop, and electronic music. Their melodieshave
definitely a touch of fineness and nostalgia, a delicate mix of soundsand
sensations that awakens serenity with the combination of smoothrhythms
and vocals.
C2C
The four men behind C2C (also known as Coups2Cross) are as wellmembers
of the scratch music movement, turntablism. The crew wasborn in 1998 in
the city of Nantes, with Atom and pFeL from Beat Torrent and20Syl and
Greem from Hocus Pocus. Each member of the group uses his turntable as an instrument in orderto
recreate percussions, bass guitars, or simulating trumpets and similarbrass
instruments.
In 2013, C2C’s album ‘Tetra’ obtained four trophies out of fournominations
during the annual French award ceremony Victoires de la Musique, including ‘Best New Artist’, ‘Best Music Video’, and ‘BestLive Show’. They
are also winners of the 2013 European Border Breakers Awards,which
recognises the success of emerging European artists who get to reach audiences out of their own countries. Posted byusa February 13, 2020February 12, 2020Posted

OUR BRAINS ON ELECTRONIC MUSIC Music is such a big part of our lives and the ways listening to itaffect us, our
mood and behaviour are fantastic. Listening to music doesn’t onlybrings us
joy and pleasure, but it can help us pay a little more attention, getmore
creative and even improve our productivity and memory. It alsostrengthens
our bonds with other people by helping us understand each other’sfeelings.
WHAT HAPPENS TO OUR BODY WHEN WE LISTEN TO MUSIC? We all have many common interests, but when it comes to music, the difference between our preferences become noticeable almostimmediately.
However, when trying to understand what happens in our brain when we listen to certain type of rhythms and sounds, an emotional connectionis
more important and relevant than our taste in music. When a song is playing, the limbic system, which is the part of thebrain
involved in our behavioural and emotional responses, shows much more activity than usual. Also, recent studies have shown dramatic effectson the
amygdala, hypothalamus, hippocampus, and other regions of the cortexof
the brain that are associated to emotion. The cortex of the brainprocesses
the tone, pitch and volume of the music in the auditory cortex, thensends
this information to other parts of the brain. When it gets to theamygdala,
the integrative center for emotions, motivation and emotionalbehavior, the
brain releases dopamine, a chemical messenger between neurons strongly related to reward, pleasure and motivation. Therefore, music and certain sounds have a significant effect on our moods, memories, emotions, thoughts and movements. BUT WHAT ABOUT ELECTRONIC MUSIC SPECIFICALLY? When we take part in a conversation about electronic music, it isstill very
common to hear that “it has no emotion because it’s made on acomputer
and not with real instruments”. Electronic music is usually generated through certain electronicdevices,
such as the synthesizer or sampler and can be conceived entirely fromthe
sounds and melodies that these machines produce. However, it can also be composed from other sound resources, such as recordings of natural sounds picked up by microphones that are thenedited
into a permanent form, or songs that have already been recorded and finished by an artist, which are modified through the application ofthis
technology, resulting in a new creation that will maintain the lyricsand
sounds of the original. So, except for live electronic music, which refers to real-timegeneration
and manipulation of traditional electronic sound-generating devicesand
computers, electronic music is only played back through loudspeakers, either by itself or accompanied by actual musical instruments. Just as any instrument is played, a computer can be programmed to create a melody or recreate a sound that evokes and stimulates the emotion that the user desires, and this doesn’t mean it is any easier to produce a good piece of this kind of music using this technology rather than an actual instrument. Creating melody, harmony and rhythm with these techniques takes a great amount of knowledge, hard work and ear training before a track can even sound remotely professional. In addition to that, trying to connect or express emotions and feelings that truly excite or bring something to the person who is listening to it requires a lot of skill and experience. WHY DO WE CHOOSE ELECTRONIC MUSIC? Musical tastes can be influenced by factors such as culture and life experiences, but our preferences in music mostly reveal our innerthoughts
and emotions, given that music satisfies three important psychological needs. Scientific studies reveal that people listen to music so theycan
improve their efficiency and performance on certain tasks, encourage intrinsic motivation and cognitive development, and influence theirown
emotional states to achieve a desired mood. First, we must consider that ‘electronic’ is a very wide term thatincludes a
lot of genres of electronic music. Taking into account that manysubgenres
of it exist, electronic music can affect how our brain works inseveral ways.
Not all electronic music is the same. As in every music genre, some subgenres can make you want to dance with extreme energy and othershave
more of a deep and emotional feeling to it. Whether you like techno,house,
minimal, dubstep, psychedelic trance, ambient, Electronic Dance Music (also known as EDM), IDM (a version of EDM but with a slower tempo, quieter sounds and more complex rhythms) or any other genre. Ambient house, downtempo and chillout can facilitate concentrationwith
the aid of repetitive patterns and mellow mid-tempo rhythms that are gentle, discreet and stimulating. Some of these mid-tempo electronictracks
are free from vocals, which help calming the senses and ease the mind. Genres like dubstep, trance, and EDM are known for repeating melodic phrases, and a musical structure that creates tension. Tracks often culminate in peaks and drops, building up a climax that is bothsensory and
exciting. DJs manipulate tension and release in the mix between songs, managing to heighten the peak emotional moments in the melody, which intensity depends on the length of anticipation during the build up. Other elements can be considered, such as rhythm and danceability,timbral
complexity and unconventionality. Research shows a clear relationship between rhythms in the brain and rhythms in music, which is for sure a factor in the enjoyment of this genre, since most electronic music isbuilt
around a very strong rhythmic essence and loop-based sequencing compositions. Moreover, nearly all of electronic music is very much functional on a dance floor. Repetitive rhythms with various shifting musical layers make us track pulse, tempo and rhythm, and we move in response, mostly when done with a group. Overall, every good music has a similar effect on all brains, as wenaturally
respond positively to rhythm, melody and harmony, no matter the genre, instrumentation or composition. Music develops deep and intensefeelings,
engages your emotions and produces pleasure and delight, andelectronic
music is no exception. Even though it is still ‘electronic’, areal
instrument-like feeling remains in its sounds, something that disarmsthe
stereotype that electronic music has no power to stimulate strongemotions
within us.
Although some variations of this genre seem to be very popular amongst music enthusiasts right now, others will surely perish in a few years. Electronic music, however, will live much longer and will keep on developing some of the most refined and recognized artists in musichistory
