LOREM IPSUM DOLOR SIT

THE ART OF MUSIC

Music is everywhere in our lives. It's in parties with friends, the radio on the way to work or school, the soundtrack of our favourite film or just the moments were we want to be alone and enjoy our favourite artists. Music can make us laugh, cry, dance or just relax. More than entertainement, it is companionship, a refuge and inspiration! So let’s see how music evolved and shaped our culture!

MUSIC IN THE 20TH CENTURY

Music in the 20th century was full of changes. New sounds, new styles, and new ideas appeared everywhere (different from the late 19th century and early 20th century music). Let´s explore these changes and how they shaped the music we listen to today.

THE EVOLUTION OF MUSIC TECHNOLOLY

  • Digital Files & Internet: In the 1990s, MP3 made music easy to share online, changing how people downloaded and listened to songs.
  • Digital Production: In the late 20th century, computers and digital tools made recording, editing, and producing music easier and more accessible.
