Pierre Schaeffer’s In Search of a Concrete Music (À la recherche d’une musique concrète)
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’être
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.
