Use http://tineye.com to find matching pictures. It is much easier and faster than waiting/hoping someone else will do it for you. -- kainaw ™ 16:13, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You also might want to get your hands on the November issue of Flare magazine. She's on the cover. --M @r ē ino 15:17, 11 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not having much luck. I found the second from the left (top row), but it's on a black-listed site. Try a Google search. You may also want to try this site, as they seem to have lots of pictures. Matt Deres (talk) 00:44, 12 November 2009 (UTC) Pfft. Ignore me; tineye does a great job. Matt Deres (talk) 01:51, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Electronic music instruments

What instruments the artists of the Music style called electronic Music use to create their songs? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.78.183.159 (talk) 19:49, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Synthesizers are the hallmark instruments of electronic music, and modern electronic music also makes use of computers to add other effects. Fribbler (talk) 20:20, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The line between electronic instrument (i.e. synthesizer) and electric instrument (like a Stratocaster) has always been pretty blurry, and in modern times has pretty much been erased. Electronic music is usally taken to mean that which is primarily produced by synthesizers, which musical purists tended to look on with disdain. The Del Shannon song "Runaway" was one of the first popular songs to use an electronic keyboard, in 1961. The Beach Boys hit "Good Vibrations" used an early synthesizer called an Electro-Theremin in 1966, and the Who made extensive use of synthesizers on their landmark 1971 album Who's Next. Imagine either "Baba O'Riley" or "Won't Get Fooled Again" without them. And yet, synthesizers were often derided as "amateurish" instruments; Queen, for example, used to put on their albums a disclaimer which stated "No Synthesisers were used on this Album" as if to say that their music was better since no synthesizers had been used; and yet Brian May used to use such a complex array of processing equipment on his guitar, its sound was often so heavily processed as to essentially be a synthesizer in all but name. Artists who were pioneers in the use of electronic music almost exclusively include Gary Numan and Kraftwerk.

Modern electronic instruments include a full array of keyboard synthesizers, as well as items like electronic drums and Drum machines (two distinct approaches to producing drum sounds electronically). There are also hybrid instruments like the often-derided keytar, electronic wind instruments like the EWI, guitar-like synthesizers like the SynthAxe, and true guitar synthesizers like the Roland GR-500 or the Line 6 Variax. --Jayron32 04:42, 11 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
