Technology in context

Daft Punk-
daft punk are one of the most renowned and most creative electronic artist's to this date. They are known for always putting on futuristic high technology shows with complex and funky melodies that always captivate their audiences. some of the technology they use consists of: Ableton live, minimoog Voyagers, Behringer BCR2000 and more. All of their technology is controlled in a big super computer which they use when performing live. Also their lighting and Audio Visuals are all manipulated by the same super computer at the same time


Travis Scott-
Travis Scott is currently one of HipHop/R&B/Trap's biggest names. this is because he has managed to create a sound that is very distinctive and addicting to his fans. This is partly to do with his production techniques, but Also the technology he uses on his voice (AutoTune) is what gives Travis Scott his trademark sound which everyone recognises him for. wether its an ad-lib or a whole verse or a hook, as soon as you hear Travis Scott you know its him straight away. A combination of this with his ecstatic live performance is what makes him so electrifying and captivating as a entertainer


One way I have used technology in a performance is through using Ableton live. I found this effective because, I feel like my style is one that is more suitable to be crafted in a DAW than actually performed live. However through using Ableton Live you have much more freedom to manipulate the performance in many different ways. I.E EQ ,Reverb or Delay. You also have the ability to sing a melody which is then transformed into midi for any instrument you like.

I also feel like I'm influenced by Artists like Kanye West, Lil Wayne and Travis Scott who have pathed the way for live auto-tune performances in HipHop and also explored Auto-Tune in a time where it wasn't really understood and made it complex to the stage where it could show emotion and even influence the style of a lot of new/upcoming Artists
