The expressivity and possibilities of musical technology have grown in line with the dawning of Dwapara Yuga. The word symphony in its original sense meant any form of musical expression, which would take in a hip song or rap song rather than the modern meaning which is repeating a narrows set of centuries old compositions in a formal setting in a very fixed set of interpretations.
1396 Harpsichord
Unrefined keyboard instrument
1598 Musical Clocks
1700 Dwapara Yuga begins with a 200-year Sandhi
1700 Pianoforte, normally referred to as a Piano
The second part of the name indicates the keys respond to touch speed/intensity and gave more 'feeling' to Harpsichord pieces
1805 Barrel Piano
Fixed repertoire
1815 Music Boxes
Fixed repertoire
1876 Electric Synthesizer, spin off from telephone technology
Allows the sound itself to be shaped and in the modern electronic synthesize encompass virtually every type of sound
1876 Player Piano
Music is programmed in rolls, much akin to automated looms
1900 Complete expression of Dwapara Yuga
1919 Theremin
First no-touch musical instrument, the sound of Dwapara Yuga
1932 Electric Guitar
One of the first updates in 5,000 years of history adding a completely new expressivity e.g. the 60's wall of sound, feedback
1953 First 8 track reel-to-reel multitrack recorder
Becomes more than just a recording instrument with Pet Sounds and Sergeant Peppers in the 60s, allows layering of sound beyond what can be accomplished with an orchestra
1975 Synclavier
Precursor to modern PC-based recording studios
1977 Guitar Synthesizer - Roland GR-500
Combines the expresivity of the guitar, with the creative expression of the synthesizer
With current technology, it is only a small step to realize music and images from our thoughts using, in this present age, brain scanning technology.
