I always heard FM and AM and I finally learned what the meaning was. It was also cool to learn about how music evolved too clearer sounds with different devices.
Never knew what AM and FM meant before this and now it makes more sense. I feel like it’s also hard to grasp sometimes how scarce music was back then with the technologies that they had. I think about it when I watch YouTube videos of orchestral music and concertos and remember that people would travel far and wide to see these musicians, while we may play music and take that access for granted.
The invention of a new “instrument” to me will always be at the top of my list. It opens doors to so many mew genres and creativity and same thing with FM radio. I never thought of how limiting technology could be as well as unlimiting. How much more can we really invent? Is there a cap?
Learning the difference between FM and AM radio was so interesting. I loved the way you explained both of them, especially compering them to colors. FM radio must have benefited artist because it for sure made music sound more enjoyable. Music innovations evolving is very cool. Imagine having lived throughout all these changes, must have been fascinating! My question is, do podcast with FM radio perform better?
I enjoyed learning about the differences between FM and AM radio. Every time I get in the car now, my parents turn on the radio, and I give them a little insight into the information I have learned on the radio. The Dark Side of the Moon album made me feel at ease and had a chill chime to it. I enjoyed learning about music's development and how far we have come now with newer and more advanced technological devices.
What I found interesting was how technology influenced the genre's evolution. With new technology artists were able to do so much with sounds. There is something that was mentioned in the sub-stack that caught my eye called AM and FM, AM audio is changed by amplitude whereas FM helps paint a bigger picture as there is so much frequencies around the environment. What's interesting about FM is that it modulates frequencies allowing the use of stereo sound to full affect. One question I have is why does FM have superior sound quality compared to AM?
It was interesting learning about AM and FM radio,I didnt know what was the difference between them but now I know how AM is distributed by amphlitude while FM distributes music with higher fielidy. It was also interesting learning about these new inovations in music like the synthesiser and the mini moog, They brought a unique, electronic like sound to music that hadnt been seen as frequent except of the electric guitar. With the rise of progressive rock, it was cool learning how it first started spreading through pirate radio. it still amazes me how they would play full albums while on pirate radio because even to this day, they still dont play full album's on the radio, mostly just singles. I wonder what artist listened to pirate radio to hear new prog rock during this era?
FM was a huge advancement in radios. I wonder what songs now days would sound like if AM FM didn't exist. The Minimoog is also a creative invention. Besides looking overwhelming on learning how to use, it sure sounds cool in some songs.
Before this post I never even heard of FM or AM, so it is interesting to learn about their definitions. It was also interesting to learn about how much sway radio had over music in general, especially with the limitations that radios had back then. It a was also cool learning about how much of an impact that synthesizers had back then, especially when we don’t think about it much when hearing music online nowadays. I do wonder though, how much more different would music be if the synthesizer was created earlier?
I enjoye learning about the different type of radio. The album "The Dark Side of the Moon" was an album that changed many due to how it made them feel. The synth changed the music world as it allowed artist to be more creative with their music. I really enjoyed the song Roundabout by yes. I never knew the fkute could be in a rock song.
I never knew that AM and FM had like technical differences. I had always thought FM was for music and AM was for sports and talk shows, that kind of stuff. Also the synth is one of my favorite "instruments" so learning the history of that is cool. The tech reminded me of omni chord which I think would be great to check out.
It was interesting to learn about AM and FM. AM could broadcast stuff at a wider range and was typically good. But for music FM was better suited. So artist tried to make songs sound better on FM radios.
I didn't know radio tech had that much control over how music was actually made. The AM vs FM stuff actually makes a lot of sense now. It's kind of strange thinking about how much that shaped what people heard. Now it feels like streaming does the same thing in a different way. What else has shaped sound like that without most people realizing?
This was very interesting and showed how important progressive radio was for the rise of prog rock. I didn't realize how much freedom DJs had back then they were shaping culture by spotlighting longer and providing more experimental tracks. It's cool to see how technology like FM radio and LP records gave artist and listeners space to explore deeper music.
The phenomena of music evolving with the mediums its played through is always interesting to learn about. Rock developing with new forms of radio and subsequently ushering in a new genre of rock because of that (prog rock) is fascinating to think about. The new FM radio could now enable artist to experiment with higher music fidelity and longer songs. This lead to artists trying out new things since they had the song duration and playback quality that made it worth experimenting.
Early rock was mainly distributed through AM radio, which had more interference but was free to listen to, unlike concerts or vinyl records that were costly. FM radio offered clearer sound and more freedom for DJs, allowing for longer songs and more improvisation, especially in prog rock. Bands like Pink Floyd greatly benefited from this, using extended solos and experimental sounds that wouldn’t fit AM radio’s shorter format which is good to get clarified because I never knew the difference between AM and FM radio.

How were AM and FM radio invented or discovered?
