The Influence of Technology 

Technology has become a large and key part of the music industry. An example of this is the German band called "Kraftwerk". The band was formed in 1970 by Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider, later gaining many more members. Technology is a core part of their music as their primary instrument that produces all of their sounds, bar some vocals, is the synthesizer, so their music is predominately a result of them fiddling with machines. They also have great big screens and light shows at their live performances,  adding significantly to the experience. They would even make their own instruments for their unique sounds, record them and out them through a synth. Kraftwerk are considered pioneers of electronic music and were one of the first groups ever to make the style successful.
