This is a handout I gave to my 20th century music class when I gave a talk on Electronic music. Most of this music I had encountered in a previous class specificly in Electronic Music. The point of the talk was to show just how diverse the different styles, pieces, and composers of Electronic Art music are. The handout is just a list of composers catagorized roughly by style so that the listener can go out and sample some on their own. I have included the name of an example piece by each composer where I happen to know one, and they are in no particular order.
