Electrophones

While listening for electrophones within four different genres of music I was surprised how much each of the genres incorporated such instruments. Even while listening to the country station I could hear the use of the electric guitar. But as I suspected the use of electrophones was very minimal on the country station. Most of the songs incorporated the use of the acoustic guitar rather than the electric guitar. I also listened to a rock station. One of the songs I heard was "Walk this Way," by Aerosmith where I could definitely hear the use of an electric guitar. Most of the other songs played on the rock station included electrophones such as the electric guitar, bass, and keyboard. The third station I listened to was a pop station. I heard the new popular song by Miley Cyrus called "Party in the USA." The use of a synthesizer was very prominent in this song as well as the electric guitar. Most of the other songs played on the pop station included the use of synthesizers and other electrophones such as the electric keyboard. The final station I listened to was a rap station. As I suspected none of the songs I heard on the rap station included the use of electrophones.
