Music and Technology

The Museum of Technology in Vienna has many exhibitions but the one that caught my attention the most was the music tech. The museum would be almost negligent if they didn't mention the harpsichord because of the city's musical (specifically baroque) history. The museum showcased the progression starting with things like the modern piano (a decendent of the harpsichord) and violin. From there they showed a progression from classical to contemporary music tech. Some contemporary pieces where synthesizers, amplifiers, and speakers.
