What Will the Future of Music Sound Like?
You parents called it noise. Your children will call it therapy. Music is older than agriculture. It’s older
than pottery. It’s older than the wheel. It’s something anthropologists call a cultural
universal. Meaning that you can find it in every society, from any point in time in history. Musical taste, however, is not so universal.
Which becomes abundantly clear as soon as you go through your roommates’ old vinyl collection
and see that they enjoy listening to stuff like Jefferson Starship, and Olivia Newton-John,
and, uh, whatever this is. *music playing* I think I’m actually going to keep this one. In 2012, digital music accounted for about
55.9% of all US sales. Now in 2008 it was only 32% percent, so you see the trend is
rising. And with things like cloud storage and streaming services, we now have access
to more music than ever before, and it’s taking up less space on our actual, physical shelves. But I hear you all crying out, “Jonathan,
what does the future of music actually sound like?” New instruments are the birthplace of musical
revolutions. Take the electric guitar, which was invented back in the 1930’s. Just imagine
what the last sixty years of music would’ve sounded like without it. Now you can actually
find robot guitars that tune themselves. But if you really want to get crazy, let’s
talk about cutting edge! Take Jamie Oliver’s Silent Drum. Now this
is not a tight drumhead that you bash with sticks. Instead it’s a flexible membrane that
you manipulate and change the rhythm and pitch of music that’s playing. Or the Roli’s Seaboard, which is a piano with
special rubber keys that allows the piano player to bend notes, just as a guitarist
would bend the guitar string. But some music makers are taking this digital
mandate to a whole new level. Take Brian House for example, with his Quotidian
Record. Now he has managed to generate music using location tracking data. Literally, the
artist’s movements are turned into song. A weird hypnotic song as it turns out. You could
do this with any kind of data. It could be your home’s energy consumption, it could be
what’s trending on Twitter. The cool thing about this is this experience transcends music,
it actually starts to describe our own human behavior. But that’s not the only way that music can
transcend just a pure entertainment experience. Think medicine. There’s evidence to show that music can help
stroke victims recover verbal memory, focus, speech, even the ability to walk. The more
we learn about the neurophysiology of music, the brighter the future looks. And we’ve got a question for you. If you were
to invent your own musical instrument, how would it work? Let us know in the comments below. And make
sure you “like” this video, and subscribe to our channel. We’ve got a lot of great videos
about the future coming up really soon!
SKRILLEX!!!!!!ππππ
i'd make an electric violine that uses finger placement to sound off the notes wrather than a bow.
My own musical instrument is called a retarded whale drum and you use whale plushes to play by slamming it in each drum (3) here are the sounds
1) Whale orgasm sound OR whatever it is idk (WUGAGUHHHHH)
2) Whale murder (EEEEKKKKKKKKWHAAAAA)
3) Whale birth OR whatever it is idk (PLHHHHHHHH)
Data sonification – composers will map non-musical data onto musical patterns. Imagine, say, solar astronomy data as drum-and=bass, blues, or country-and-western motifs.
If I would to make a musical instrument I would make it work by synchronizing with my spiritual energy I wish that would be possible because my spiritual energy is so strong after of 5 minutes of pushing it to the limit I would be so tired I would be sleepy
I would invent the Freddie Mercury microphone and it would change the pitches in my voice to sound like the legend himself
with your thoughts
Yes, introspective music is the future ! π

The electric triangle HELL YA!!!!!
Sounds like a broken fax machine.
horrible, the present is already horrible, real music is made by talented musicians playing instruments and singers actually singing, but nowadays that is not fashionable or whatever, it's all noises, clicks, beeps, and autotune. it sucks. the 90s was the last decade for real music.
"Your parents calls it noise…the children calls it therapy!" ……I'm a Black Veil Brides fan and some people call me weird, crazy, freak, demon….things like that!…..
I microphone……that helps you with the screaming parts in rock songs example Perfect Weapon by Black Veil Brides!
best instrument ever works nextly u goto youtube u pres the microphone button and u say what u wantto listen
I like the skin flute, let's all suck a dick
People 100 years ago would've never imagined trapstep or glitch dubstep EDM, let alone hip hop or heavy metal from 30+ years ago. What pisses me off is that I won't be around 100+ years in the future to hear whatever new music/genres they have.
by farting
i would make some kind of a voice controler that will play everything for example water,fire…
mine would work the way you like ,for exaple,driving.
a guitar that can become electric or acoustic with a keyboard on the back, a launchpad, sound effect, speech generator and a beat maker on the front and then, little buttons on the side to change what your voice sounds like that you can customise.
I have dreams about it always, i know what I'm doing
I'm really scared for the future I hope we are not in outer space π§π§π§π’π’π’ please let everybody be safe I hope people will not live in outer space let people be safe and go to a safe place in the future I hope earth will still exist by the way let people go to a safe placeπππππππππππππππππββββπππππππππ
You didn't answer the question.
the future music will be electronic, my and others objective is to conserve all the oldest musics for not become missing in the society
Future funk is the future right meow
This video helped me on an speech for school!!!!thx!!!!!!
future music? sound of a huge nuke asplod
Some kind of Symthesizer type thing
This sounds kinda scary to me, but I think music will have no singers in it, just sounds
The new Future
Desiigner
i was listening to the doors the other day and a strong realization come to me, i thought what the hell is gonna happen to music in the future, keeping in mind that the future never ends! what the hell is gonna happen? what are we expected to make when there will be nothing new to make because there is only so much you can make with sounds, therefore people will always listen to old music of today and the past like jim morrison etc.
The FitnessGram Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal bodeboop. A sing lap should be completed every time you hear this sound ding. Remember to run in a straight line and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over.
Psytrance Bitch
"If you were to invent your own musical instrument how would it work? let us know in the comments below!"(so we can steal your idea) lol
this guy is like a ginger mr. clean
To answer the question… if I invented a musical instrument… I'd use the emergent brainwave technology (such as the computer input devices that use our brain waves for input)… only it would play music instead of sending data to a PC.
i think its will like …mmm chiptune taste….! guess !
This is 2016 and music is fucking the same lmao
Future musical instruments: I don't think people will have the patience for instruments you blow into or stroke and play only one note. Nor will they want a completely linear piano keyboard because then you have to learn scales for 12 musical keys. "Harmonic" keyboards will be in, with hexagonal keys and a constant relationship between the notes depending on what direction you take from the current key. Search on YouTube for the Thummer, or the Axis-64. It will make playing scales and chords more easy from any starting point. Guitar-neck instruments will still be popular as well.
Music recordings have improved in sound quality alone and will continue to become more crystalline. The loudness war will continue. I see a trend towards further digitization and modification of audio for innovative purposes. I see a further move away from acoustic instruments to electronic. I see more modification of older styles but with modern mixing sensibilities. I see even deeper niches of music being made as the population grows, until it becomes nearly impossible to track it all. There will be an even greater diversification of genres. Most music will be produced in home studios. Recording equipment will become extremely cheap, even more than it is now, and software even more intuitive, that a song could be created by almost anyone with ease. The benchmark for production skills will skyrocket due to this technology so that it'll be even more based on mixing, mastering and composing tracks and beats, but it'll rely even less on being able to play an instrument. You will be able to autotune any voice to sound "natural", even less noticeably than today. Overall, sound quality will improve, knowledge of a musical instrument will be less important, and technology will advance to make music sound more synthetic, more clean, more engineered than ever.
Future House Records YouTube channel has the future of music on it. Listen to the Future House Records August 2016 mix.
Trance music Genres,Psychill and Space Synth are the only thing that I can predict about the future music of 2020s and so on
air gloves
music made by your hands
you are now the composer and conductor
Music is shit now and it probably will get shitter
Vaporwave or music with handpans, I love that instrument
what is the name of the music that plays at 3:10 ?
I didnot get to hear the music. What a waste
I had White Castle last night. If only I had the guts to record it. lol?
You didn't even remotely answer the question that you used as the very title of this video………………. CLICK. BAIT.
guitars last forever in this future I guess
and many music instruments too I guess for future
90s Electro music is way better than today's techno music.
1:00 – nice music…
I think older rock music need to come back like ac dc, queen, act.
in the 2020s, its probably gonna be like a techno pop
I want a 36 fret electric guitar with a REALLY flexible RUBBER neck that doubles as a slingshot, so when people throw stuff on stage when I'm playing in sold out football stadiums, I can retaliate back with moving projectiles in the form of rocks and bombs…
Roses are red, violets are blue, I got clickbated, and so did you.
well i have ideas for a 14 octave piano that has a suboctave pedal section and has pull out stops that allow the player to play in all 14 octaves at the same time but to also harmonize it would be like trying to play a black midi in a more simple termology
Techno pop is already here (Kraftwork) check them out
It will sound likeΒ the musical equivalent of the "ass" movie in Idiocracy
Today's mainstream music is terrible. I hope things get better in 2020.
What do you know – I DID invent my own musical instrument.
all of my music is pysical, I have all music on 8-track cassette, vinyl or cassette.
There will be no real music played by talented musicians. It will be droning noise produced by bored kids. Kids in the future will be incapable of producing music because they have their ears permanently glued to a cell phone.
i'm 17 years old 80s music for me
S Y N T H W A V E I S T H E F U T U R E
Trance #hard trande #uplifting trance # progressive trance
I would invent an FM synthesis based midi controllable analog hardstyle kick synthesizer.
Uuuuhh I don't like these new instruments
Who came because they knew music will definitely be shit they just want to know how bad it will be
It will sound like music from the Krell.
How could new instruments be invented when we already have the synthesizer?
Psychill, already see the Blade Runner/Matrix looklike society with all the metal, rain, lights and fog
techno trance eurodance is future
I think the instrument is actually irrelevant. "Sound" is the instrument.
Here's what I think the music of the future will sound like π -> https://soundcloud.com/miguelangelux
Artificial Intelligence will learn what most humans find pleasing about music and will start writing better songs than any human could. Becoming the perfect tunesmiths, the industry will then be taken over by the bots. Talk about manufactured pop music.
okay i spent 3 minutes without hearing the answer.
Based on how far off previous predictions were, I'd say the men of future will laugh their asses off watching this.
My music taste goes back to 1898. and that is a recording of a ragtime medley on a Brown wax cylinder that was acoustically recorded.
Probably a lot more bass in the music.
they isn't good music anymore made a long time ago ever thing is no good now and I mean everything back in the days it was so much better
You talk much shit…
The anal flute
This channel proves that despite excellent content and sponsorships, you can still fail
Well if it's anything like the crap that Radio plays on a daily basis then god help us cause the music as been shit since 2000 and it's getting worse.
DAW for life
My instrument will be a 8 string guitar with random amp tunes like funk, hebey metal, pop rock
All he did was read the description and didn't answer shit about my question.
I am a Person from 2018 I can tell you thereβs this thing called Despacito
1)HUMAN BREATHING: all ages, synchronizing, overlapping and intertwining with short or long blending sounds.
2) WIND HOWLS FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE WORLD.
3) PLANETS SOUNDS…….
It depends on the producer that finds new elements that might sound like so futuristic and they be the key of finding new music
A musical Speaker with 11 Dimensions of sound oscillating and as well as accompanied by light creating visual hallucinations.
So how will the music sound like fooooo
Check out my avantgarde music on my channel!
You won't believe it
i expect some hyper exo frequencies that human ears wont hear without wearing some dedicated headsets
Now we have reggaeton mates.
Genres will be recycled and meshed together eg. Math Trap, Dubgrunge, and Tropihop. This will happen until long forgotten archaic genres such as classical, big band, etc are reinvented and seen as fresh to people in the far future. Lather, rinse, repeat.
daft punk
How about a liquid instrument? A small pool with nanotechnology that allows the musician to warp the notes depending on how many fingers he dips in? Or an air based instrument like the Laser Harp? Waving your hands in a pattern that creates sound?
Music is amazing because people create it with their vocals, fingers and hands. That's what makes it so mystical and good. Robot music is not mystical no matter how fast or technical.
1:58
Now THAT sounds like the future of music! You know what I want? Something like the jazzy music from the '40s mixed with digital sounds!
