Alternate Timelines

Scenarios about 'sound synthesis'

Sound synthesis refers to the creation of audio signals through electronic means, encompassing both analog and digital technologies used to generate sounds that may not exist in nature. Emerging in the early 20th century and revolutionized by the development of synthesizers in the 1960s-70s, this field has fundamentally transformed music production, sound design, and audio engineering. Sound synthesis techniques are essential elements in alternate history scenarios exploring different technological trajectories in electronic music, communications, and entertainment media.
