“Jon H. Appleton, in his Preface to Introduction to Electro-Acoustic Music, writes ‘In most rapidly developing art forms artists influence each other, build on and transform each other’s ideas.   This process has been accelerated in electro-acoustic music and through the use of technology which is itself changing rapidly.’  Appleton continues by posing two questions, ‘Did composers try something different because they encountered new machinery?  Or did new ideas about music force them to look for, and in some cases actually invent, new instruments?
The author, Barry Schrader, deals with the answers to these questions and discusses the relationships between the technology and the composition of electro-acoustic music.”
