Pierre Schaeffer's "In Search of a Concrete Music" ("A la recherche
d'une musique concrete") has long been considered a classic text in
electroacoustic music and sound recording. Now Schaeffer's
pioneering work - at once a journal of his experiments in sound
composition and a treatise on the raison d'etre of "concrete music"
- is available for the first time in English translation.
Schaeffer's 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.
