Electronic musician

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about musicians. For the magazine, see Electronic Musician.

An electronic musician is a musician who composes or plays music from synthetic sounds generated with synthesizers, samplers, drum machines or music sequencers. A large portion of today's electronic music is based on samples, which are sampled (digitized) from original instruments or other audio sources. These samples are then edited, transformed and sequenced again to create new musical compositions.

Many electronic musicians use primarily electronic instruments, but play their compositions in real-time.
