DescriptionPierre Schaeffers In Search of a Concrete Music ( la recherche dune musique concr te) has long been considered a classic text in electroacoustic music and sound recording. Now Schaeffers pioneering work-at once a journal of his experiments in sound composition and a treatise on the raison d tre of concrete music-is available for the first time in English translation. Schaeffers theories have had a profound influence on composers working with technology. However, they extend beyond the confines of the studio and are applicable to many areas of contemporary musical thought, such as defining an instrument and classifying sounds. Schaeffer has also become increasingly relevant to DJs and hip-hop producers as well as sound-based media artists. This unique book is essential for anyone interested in contemporary musicology or media history.About the AuthorComposer Pierre Schaeffer (1910-1995) was the inventor of musique concrčte music created by combining and manipulating recorded sounds (rather than being played on conventional musical instruments). Translators: John Dack is Senior Research Fellow and Director of the Sonic Arts Department at Middlesex University. Christine North is retired as Lecturer in French at Middlesex University.
