Electronic music, or future music, has been around since 1917, and employs the use of invented electric instruments specifically designed to produce sounds and sound patterns. It can involve tape, computers, synthesizers, drum machines, and multimedia. Once confined to studio recordings because of the size of the equipment (“Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” couldn’t be performed live at its inception), electronic music plays live thanks to advances in smaller and smaller computers and systems.
Soldier Field is located at 1410 South Museum Drive. For tickets, go to www.ticketmaster.com and follow the prompts to Spring Awakening at Soldier Field. No one under the age of eighteen will be admitted.
