In the ’70s the doors opened to new musical experimentations, for the first time oriented to enhance the sounds produced by the new available electronic instruments, analogical and digital. Electronic music is born, a genre of unprecedented innovative scope, which will mark and radically transform the history of music to our days.

At first Electro music was limited to a group of avant-garde musicians interested in exploring the new possibilities made available by those instruments, such as synthesizers, but it quickly evolved assuming multiple nuances. Thanks to the huge number of reproducible digital sounds and timbres, never achievable before with traditional musical instruments, the freedom in sound combination becomes limitless and gains an invaluable value.
