Eli5: How is electronic music written down?

453 views

My friend’s dad was telling me that with classical music, rock, or any other type of music, you can write down tabs and notes etc, but electronic music can’t be written on “paper”. So I am curious, how do you keep a note on how it’s supposed to go? I hope this makes some sense, I have very limited knowledge of music.

Electronic music is.. well.. electronic.. so you don’t write it down. You don’t play it on instrument, but compose it on computer.

If you want to work with it, there is digital format called midi. It’s closest to writing notes down.
