Document Summary
Advances in technology: sound recordings, radio, film, television, computers. Listeners had greater access to more diverse kinds of music than ever before. Composers created entirely novel approaches to music by writing works without a tonal center and without a clear sense of meter or regular rhythm. Others incorporated sounds from the music of non-western cultures. Electronically generated sounds started being incorporated into the timbre. Ragtime, jazz, blues developed novel ways of applying tonal harmonies and metered rhythms. Influence of african american and latin composers/musicians became more pronounced. Pablo picasso art retains elements of representation, but the sense of perspective is heavily distorted, several different angles at once; known as cubism. Disregard for tradition and a quest for novelty that far exceeded any such drive in the. Modernist painters rejected the time-honoured idea that a painting had to represent a past particular object: abstract art colour and form, gone was depth, illusion of perspective, contemporary.
