Expanding idiomatic electric guitar in contemporary music

自20世纪40年代至50年代吉他电气化以来，这种乐器在流行音乐流派的万花筒中经历了蓬勃的发展。它一直是音乐技术发展的先驱，并在发展中的社会文化和音乐对“噪音”和“音乐声”的看法之间的冲突中发挥了重要作用（Carfoot, 2006）。随后，电吉他的使用扩展到其他曲目，并成为当代作曲的有效工具。已经发展成为这种模块化乐器的一部分的技术已经成倍地增加了它的音乐和创造性的可能性，改变了作曲家今天能够在音乐中利用它的方式。我们现在可以认为电吉他是一个“基于网络的乐器对象”（Lähdeoja et al., 2006）。“网络”指的是数千个可用的信号处理器，以及仪器通过软件环境（如MAX和基于daw的插件）跨越到虚拟形式的能力，而“仪器对象”指的是非传统的性能技术。这种乐器的迅速发展和各种演奏风格的出现证明了电吉他在表达上的灵活性。随着时间的推移，对乐器的处理方法也有很大的不同：MortonFeldmans 1966年的吉他独奏作品《电吉他新作品的可能性》旨在克服电吉他的事实，而Fausto Romitelli的《Trash TV Trance》则采用了摇滚吉他的刻板印象，并利用了一系列物体和踏板

Since the electrification of the guitar in the 1940s - 1950s, the instrument has undergone a vigorousdevelopment through a kaleidoscope of popular music genres. It has been a precursor oftechnological development in music and played a significant role in the conflict between developingsociocultural and musical perceptions of "noise" and "musical sound" (Carfoot, 2006). Subsequently,the electric guitar's use has extended into other repertoires and become integrated as an effective toolfor contemporary composition.The technologies which have evolved to form a part of this modular instrument have exponentiallyincreased its musical and creative possibilities transforming the way composers are able to utilise it inmusic today. We can now consider the electric guitar to be a "network based, instrument-object"(Lähdeoja et al., 2006). The "network" refers to the thousands of available signal processors and theinstrument's ability to cross over into virtual forms via software environments such as MAX andDAW-based plugins, while the "Instrument-object" refers to non-traditional performance techniques.Such a rapid expansion of the instrument and the emergence of varied playing styles is testament tothe electric guitar's expressive flexibility. Approaches to the instrument vary wildly over time: MortonFeldmans' 1966 work for solo guitar, The Possibility of a New Work for Electric Guitar - aims toovercome the fact of an electric guitar - while Fausto Romitelli's Trash TV Trance embraces rockguitar stereotypes and utilises an array of objects and pedals
