Electricial charges, as Bjork once pointed out in an interview a number of years ago, have been around since the beginning of time - they are as "natural" as vibrating strings so why not harness them for the purpose of making music?

Electricial charges, as Bjork once pointed out in an interview a number of years ago, have been around since the beginning of time - they are as "natural" as vibrating strings so why not harness them for the purpose of making music?
For the younger generations of composers it has been just as natural to use electricity in some form or another (be it old analogue circuits or modern digitas technology) alongside traditional methods such as placing musical notation on pieces of paper and giving them to musicians to play. In certain cases the pieces of paper and wooden instruments have been discarded altogether and the possibilities of the new digital media embraced completely with works intended as a kind of "electronic listening music" not necessarily requiring performance in a concert situation. In other cases composers have busied themselves with creating "patches" - small computer programs intended for use in live performances or providing a framework for improvisation without being complete fixed musical objects in themselves.
Electric is a series which gives place to these new developments.
