GALARD, Jean. La computadora en la música. An. Inst. Investig. Estét [online]. 2000, vol.22, n.77, pp.263-267. ISSN 0185-1276.

The use of computers as instruments capable of reproducing any type of sound or combining an infinite variety of timbres, tones and rhythms, has led to a new relationship between creators and their music. Computers often provoke two opposing attitudes among composers: on the one hand, technology enthusiasts tend to extol the instrument's novelty factor, while mystifying its real possibilities; on the other, skeptics or those preferring to remain on the border of innovation, frequently cling to exaggerated humanistic ideologies and develop a complete aversion to computers. With a profound knowledge of the incorporation of technological elements into the artistic milieu, Jean Galard offers a synthetic analysis of the differing problems arising from the use of digital technology in musical production. His conclusion is that the link between creators and their work has been completely transformed, because the receiver's subjectivity has been relegated to the attention given to the stochastic processes that come into play when producing music with computer support.
