Traditionally classical music would appear to be grounded in rigid and long-established methods of writing. More and more new composers are breaking the mould and using technology to introduce new sounds and styles. They are not fundamentally changing classical music but embracing the invention inherent in creativity. This series takes an informal, jocund look at the evolution and influence of electronic music on the genre, from the 1920s to the present day.
