Stupid question, what do you call non-computerized music?

[Gizmo j]

Music where the only noise comes from live instruments and vocals, whats the proper term for this?

 

[TheELF]

Music

(no really, it is)
Other than that there are more sub-categories like "live" "acapella" "acoustic" and so on.
Computerized music (electronic/electro) is the sub-genre so it is the one you have to call by it's special name.

 

[lxskllr]

"Analog" would probably get the point across.

 

[Crono]

Acoustic music

 

[Naer]

Acoustic music

What about electric guitars, and whatnot? Not acoustic by the standard definition, but not electronica either.

Hmm, I guess if you want to include electronic instruments in the OP's definition, then I guess my answer to the OP would be non-synthesized (non-synthetic may be more correct grammatically) music.

Boring.

"Analog" would probably get the point across.

Analog would cover acoustic and non-computerized electric instruments so analog would work.

Real Music.

Here's an example..

 

[dawp]

what about analog synthesizer? like the kind used by yes and the moody blues way back when.

those are played live.

^^ Moog

That's a little like asking "What do you call birds that don't have yellow tails?" They're called birds.

I call it music like the ELF. The subset of music which contains digital instruments, or which includes analog synths, is a very small subset of music, easy to differentiate by simply calling it "electronic music", or, to differentiate in greater detail by calling it by the specific subgenre or musicians name or bands name.

Then you run into a grey area, because what about DJs like King Tubby? They took raggae music and remixed it with effects, but, technically there may not be any synths or digital elements. Yet Dub is more or less universally acclaimed and accepted as the 1st generation of electronica.

I would say analog. And definitely the best kind of music.
