Synthesizer music is a genre that primarily uses electronic instruments called synthesizers to create sounds. These instruments can mimic traditional musical instruments or produce entirely new sounds that are not found in nature. Synthesizers generate sound through various methods, including subtractive synthesis, additive synthesis, and frequency modulation, allowing musicians to explore a wide range of tones and textures. This type of music gained popularity in the late 20th century, particularly in genres like electronic, pop, and ambient music. Artists such as Kraftwerk and Jean-Michel Jarre helped to pioneer the use of synthesizers, influencing countless musicians and shaping the sound of modern music.
