Summary/Abstract: Starting from the early ‘60s and up until the end of the ‘80s music industry has gone through numerous innovations. The inventions of this period of time represent the basis of technology, and by changing the orchestrations of almost every music genre, they have led to the birth of new genres, such as progressive, symphonic or electronic rock. The following article presents the major improvements that have been made through time, from the invention of the triode to the use of technical procedures (such as sampling), proving that this fast evolution of music and musical instruments bears great importance not only in the circle of musicians, but also in the making of movie and theater soundtracks.
