music electronic music is a broad of modern music this music uses digital instruments, electronic, musical instruments, and circuitry based music technology are they using devices such as synthesizer and computer The reality is that electronic music has been around for almost half a century already Composers were using electronic instruments as early as the 1960s but it did not become popular until the mid 1970s three stages of the development of electronic music magnetic tape recording in 1947 a group of music technicians in a Paris radio station, led by Pierre Schaeffer started to experiment musique concrete - is a music made up of natural sounds and sound effects that are recorded and altered by changing the speed of their records The composer could separate all of its components, alter the pitch and volume, play it backward, overdub, edit the overtones and add other components. synthesizer is a device for combining sound generators and sound modifiers in one package it has an integrated control system RCA electronic music synthesizer, moog synthesizer, and theramine were the synthesizers developed during the first stage The RCA (radio corporation of America) electronic music synthesizer was an analog programmable electronic music synthesizer, pioneered and created by the RCA coloration in 1955. This could generate any imaginable sound or combined sounds. The Moog synthesizer another analog synthesizer was pioneered and commercially released in the mid 1960s. musicians use this instrument in their performances, including Pink Floyd and the Beatles, both famous rock bands. The Theremin is another electronic musical instrument which broadened the use of synthesizers not only in life performances, but also in the film industry. This synthesizer was named after its Russian inventor. Leon Theremin who patented this device in 1928. This device was capable of editing movie soundtracks and popular music. It is played without being touched. it’s two antennas control the pitch and the volume. The vertical antenna makes the pitch higher while the horizontal antenna makes the pitch softer. because there is no physical contact with the instrument playing the theremine in a precise melodic way requires practice skills and keen attention to pitch. musicians who used theremine: Lothar and the Hand people Bonzo dog doo-dah band  Led Zeppelin movies that used theremine for soundtracks: the day the earth stood still it came from outer space spellbound the lost weekend Electronic Computer Early electronic computers were used to generate sound by representing sound waves as graphs. These graphs were translated into numbers, which were then converted into playable sound tapes. This required developing computer programs to translate musical elements like duration, pitch, and timbre into numerical data. Computer sound generation was seen as a highly flexible instrument with the potential to dominate electronic music in the future. This vision is becoming reality as electronic sounds are increasingly integrated into live performances, with young composers utilizing media and synthesizers alongside traditional instruments. One notable example is Mario Davidovsky's "Synchronisms," a work featuring dialogues between solo instruments and prerecorded electronic sounds. twenty-first-century music technology In line with the twenty-first-century digital learning skills that you need to develop, there are many software made available in enhancing your music literacy. There are strategies musicians use for reading, writing, and performing music. There is also software for transcribing and notating music.

Aleatoric music, from the Latin word alea ("dice"), is the other term for chance music. This type of music is frequently found in some opera choruses. Concept of performance is sometimes left to the determination of its performers. John cage (1912-1992)  John Milton Cage Jr. was an American music theorist, composer, pianist, and philosopher. He was born on September 5, 1912 in Los Angeles. He was one of the prominent avant-garde composers of the twentieth century. John Cage was a renowned American avant-garde composer known for his groundbreaking work, including his famous piece "4'33". This three-movement composition consists of 4 minutes and 33 seconds of silence, where performers are instructed not to play their instruments. The focus shifts to the audience, who are meant to listen to the sounds of their environment, making those sounds the composition itself. The term "tacet", meaning "to be silent", is used in musical scores to indicate sections where an instrument or voice should not play. Charles Ives (1874-1954) Charles Edward Ives was an American modernist composer and a church organist. He was born in Danbury, Connecticut in 1874. He entered and studied at Yale University where he wrote musical experimentation on church music. Following the modernist trends of his time, he applied musical techniques including polyrhythm, polytonality, tone clusters, and aleatory elements to his experimental music. Among his famous works are: Variations on America Concord Sonata The unanswered question Holiday symphony Three places in new England arts cubism "When we invented Cubism we had no intention whatever of inventing Cubism" -Pablo Picasso "Cubism is like standing at a certain point on a mountain and looking around. If you go higher, things will look different; if you go lower, again they will look different. It is a point of view." —Jacques Lipchitz Cubism was initiated by the retrospection of Paul Cézanne's styles of using geometric forms to exhibit simplification of nature. This style influenced both Picasso and Braque. In 1908, Spanish artist Pablo Picasso was introduced to non-Western art like the Iberian art in Spain, African-influenced art by Matisse, and the artworks at the Ethnographic Museum of Trocadero. What moved Picasso to these artistic traditions was their use of abstract or simplified representation of the human body rather than the naturalistic forms of the European Renaissance traditions. Artworks: Bowl of fruit, violin and bottle (1914) by pablo picasso girl with a mandolin (1910) by pablo picasso The human figures presented by Picasso in his artworks have body pats and facial features that are shown frontally and from a side angle at once. This gives a sense of asymmetrical balance and misplacement that creates and dunamish Ipact. This gives the Cubism style a feling energy and dynamism. To this date, Cubism appears in varied contemporary artworks. Some of the key ideas of Cubism are as follows: The artworks manifest the presence of open form with piercing figures, allow space to flow through the subject, blend background into foreground, and show objects from different angles. Some historians and critics were saying that these innovations are changing the human experience of space, movement, and time in the modern world. This first phase of Cubism was called Analytical Cubism. The artworks manifest the use of nontraditional materials as abstract signs. The use of newspaper led later historians to concepts that, instead of being concerned with forms, the artists may also incorporate current events. This second phase of Cubism was called Synthetic Cubism. pop arts Pop art is an art movement that emerged in the middle 1950s in Great Britain and in the late 1950s in the United States. It presented a challenge to the traditions of fine art by including imagery from popular culture such as advertising, comic books, and other ordinary cultural objects. Its objective is to use images popular to the masses as an opposition to the elitist culture. It also uses mechanical means of reproduction or rendering techniques Product labeling and logos figure prominently in the imagery chosen by the Pop artists. Look at one of the 32 canvases comprising Andy Warhol's Campbell's Soup Cans. (1962) by andy warhol Even the labeling of shipping boxes had also been used as subject matter in Pop art. Campbell’s tomato juice box (1964) by andy warhol Pop art was popularized by New York artists such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, James Rosenquist, and Claes Oldenburg. All of them contributed to the Pop art's phenomenon in the international scenario. Pop art is considered as of one of the recognizable styles of modern art. In fact, the current commercial images nowadays owe much to the initiation of the Pop art in the modern world. Look closely at the comic artwork on the next page and think of how Pop art emerged from the culture of the masses. op art In the middle of the last century, Western artists, especially in the United States, began to experiment with a branch of abstract art called Optical art. It became popular because of its artistic presentation that through art, the eye can be fooled. The Op artists realized that by repeating elements of art such as lines and shapes, and forming a pattern, they could create an illusion of depth and movement. Look at the 1966 installation art of Lucas Samaras entitled Mirrored Room. How is this installation art example of an Op art? Mirrored room (1966) by lucas samsaras  Observe how the 1962 artwork entitled Blaze 1 by Bridget Riley used the repletion of lines to create an illusion of movement. The effect gets stronger near the center, where the contrast between the lines becomes intense. How does the principle of rhythm through its repetitive lines unify the composition? dadaism Dada or Dadaism was an anti-establishment art movement that developed in 1915 in the context of the Great War and the earlier anti-art movement. Early centers for dadaism included Zürich and Berlin. Within a few years, the movement had spread to New York City and a variety of artistic centers in Europe and Asia. surrealism aims to revolutionise human experience. It balances a rational vision of life with one that asserts the power of the unconscious and dreams. The movement's artists find magic and strange beauty in the unexpected and the uncanny, the disregarded and the unconventional. health quakery Quackery is a form of a health fraud in the advertisement, promotion, or sale of products and services that have not been scientifically proven safe and effective. A quack, therefore, is an individual that has little or no professional qualifications to practice medicine. He/she pretentiously uses meaningless medical jargon and relies on scare tactics, paranoid accusations, and quick fixes. These include anything involving the overpromotion in the field of health. Here are the characteristics of health quackery: 1. It is progressive. Quacks follow legitimate science and say that whatever they are promoting is the latest and greatest in science. 2. It is a big business. Quacks are often very successful. They make millions from those who fall for their schemes. 3. It is for an incurable condition. Quacks exploit individuals who are diagnosed with illnesses that are known to have no cure. 4. It multiplies fast. Quacks target those who are hopeless in their conditions and offer cure and hope. Here are some reasons why quackery persists and seems to work: 1. Ignorance Many consumers simply do not know the difference between health products and services that have been shown to be effective and those that have not. The false yet powerful promises are employed by many marketing agencies at the core of their techniques. 2. Placebo effect The mind is a powerful influence on how one feels. This means that he/she feels better because his/her mind says he/she should feel better. Feelings are easily controlled by the mind unless a person has a health problem that compromises energy levels. 3. Self-limiting conditions Many common health problems are self-limiting. This means that the condition runs its course even if the person does nothing at all. Viral health problems are like that: they go through an active stage and then a latent stage. Often, quackery works this way and claims the credit when the problem would have gone away anyway. Therefore, consumers need to know the difference. 4. Sleight of Hand/Use of magic trick Psychic surgery is an example of fakery that some quacks use to promote a false product. Types of quakery A. Medical quackery - includes cures, treatments, and remedies to various health conditions that are drugless or bloodless in nature B. Nutrition quackery - involves promotion of food fads and other nutritional practices that claim to be all-natural. These are believed to have beneficial properties of multiple plants in one product. C. Device quackery - makes use of miraculous gadgets (such as dials, gauges, electrodes, magnets, and blinkers) that are believed to cure certain health conditions To protect oneself, be quick to recognize the red flags before taking an unproven treatment, consult and talk to the family doctor or health care professional. Among these red flags are: a. Miracle cure d. Secret ingredient b. Quick fix e. Scientific breakthrough c. Ancient remedy Harmful Physical and Psychological Effects People should be educated that when they patronize health quackery they face economic exploitation, risk injury or death, place themselves beyond reach of consumer protection laws, and help sustain quack operations that will exploit other health consumers in the future. The harm done by quackery may be further categorized as: 1. Economic harm The financial loss in quackery is due to unwise spending on products and services. The impact upon individuals and families can be catastrophic if they fall into the trap of quackery in their quest for a remedy in hopeless cases. Most quacks exist to bleed them dry financially. 2. Direct harm Because quackery does not have a scientific basis, it puts the health and lives of the public in great danger. Dubious therapies can cause death, serious injury, unnecessary suffering, disfigurement, and lingering and worsening of diseases. It can lead to conflict between the consumer and the provider. 3. Psychological harm In nearly every case of harm, the use of a directly harmful procedure is done, thus preventing the patient from obtaining effective care. Fake diagnosis makes one suffer the mental anguish of thinking he/she has a dreaded disease. Fake medication causes anxiety and distress due to uncertainty of the effectiveness and lack of assurance in terms of safety and effectiveness. 4. Societal harm Quackery can also harm the society when a large number of people hold wrong beliefs about the best way to deal with health concerns. Limited resources can be wasted if funds are used to follow leads based on fake data. When misinformation based upon wishful thinking becomes popular, the mass media exacerbate the problem with their power to spread ideas. These ideas can influence decision-making of consumers, judges, policy-makers, and legislators. Complementary and Alternative Health Care Modalities Filipinos have deep-seated practice of traditional medicine as an alternative modality for treating and preventing diseases. Even in these modern times when information and advanced science has greatly progressed, traditional medicine is still embraced by Filipinos especially in rural areas. However, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued an advisory warning the consumers against the procurement and consumption of a wide array of products, including cosmetics and personal care products, herbal products, slimming products, and insect control products without proper authorization from the agency. In 1992, the Department of Health (DOH) launched the Traditional Medicine Program that aims to promote an effective and safe use of traditional medicine. The traditional medicine program was signed into law, the Republic Act No. 8423, otherwise known as the Traditional and Alternative Medicine Act (TAMA) of 1997. This gave rise to the creation of the Philippine Institute of Traditional and Alternative Health Care (PITAHC), which is tasked to promote and advocate the use of traditional and alternative health care modalities through scientific research and product development.
