The Great Bleep Forward: Presented by Andrew Collins (part 4 of 4)

Andrew Collins provides a glimpse of the future of electronic music as it appeared to him in 2004.

In the final part of the series, Andrew Collins gives us a glimpse of the electronic future as it appeared to him in 2004. As electronic music reaches maturity, new artists are going back to the original synthesizers and mixing them with the most up to date technology to create new fusions. Computers rule the planet and music. You no longer need to be a musician to make music, you can be a programmer. Vintage instruments can be re-created on your laptop. Electronics have become sophisticated in the live environment with bands like radiohead sampling and replaying vocals during a live track. You can buy a software singer and guitarist for under 脗拢200 each. Have we finally created Kraftwerk's Man Machine?
