Musique Concrète

Description

Musique Concrète is a form of electroacoustic music that utilizes recorded sounds as raw material. These sounds are often manipulated and assembled into a musical composition, creating a soundscape that can be abstract and experimental.

History

Musique Concrète emerged in the late 1940s in France, pioneered by composer Pierre Schaeffer. It represented a departure from traditional musical composition by focusing on the use of recorded sounds and tape manipulation. Over time, it influenced various genres and artists, contributing to the development of electronic and experimental music.
