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

Another chance to hear Andrew Collins presenting a four-part series on electronic music.

In the final part of the series, Andrew gives us a glimpse of the electronic future as it appeared to him in 2004, when this series was made.

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. And vintage instruments can be re-created on your laptop.

Electronics have also become sophisticated in the live environment, with bands such as Radiohead sampling and replaying vocals at their live shows.

You can buy a software singer and guitarist for under 拢200 each. Have we finally created Kraftwerk's Man Machine?
