From Instrument to Controller

Résumé

While the popularisation of analog effects in the 1960s changed the electric guitar sound, the application of digital signal processing techniques has transformed the instrument into a controller. Arguably, this shift transcends the domains of hermeneutics and psychoacoustics. When faced with a new electric guitar sound, audiences might brush it off as just another effect. However, it is the effect itself that is the focus of their attention, which, in turn, minimises the electric guitar and its role as a sound producer. In a sense, the effect supersedes its source. This paper discusses how advancements in digital music technology have changed the ways listeners engage with the electric guitar.
