Work Analysis
In 1970, davidovsky would release Synchronisms no 6, for piano and tape, that would experiment with electronic sounds accompanying live instruments. The texture between these two mediums are distinctive from one another as they go back forth in counterpoint.. The interplay of these two instruments expresses almost a transferration over the music as either the piano or the sounds will incrementally phase out as the other part takes over. These electronic sounds range from high pitch sound waves to synth-like beeps. These sounds are also dynamically used in the mix of the piece as the sound waves move from one ear to the other and stop suddenly where the live piano consistently stays in both.

Observation / Comparison
Even though Davidovsky was not exactly a Electronic music composer he still extended a different way to look at used non conventional means of creating sound in music. He also toyed with the idea of where electronic sounds could have with live instruments; a technique that we seen in a majority of popular music today.
