Placing musique concrète within a broad historical context extending from the early twentieth-century avant-garde's experiments with noise to the development of techniques in sound recording (at the Studio d'Essai in the 1940s) and later in sound synthesis, Gayou shows how recording technology made it possible for composers to not only create music from sounds in the world around them but also create acousmatic music—novel sounds without a visible connection to their source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in English translation for the first time, this updated edition of \u003cem\u003eA Revolution in Music\u003c\/em\u003e will be an important resource for readers interested in the pioneering works and techniques of Schaeffer and his contemporaries, as well as their influence on the makers of new music and the contemporary avant-garde.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47595697242348,"sku":"9780520409774","price":85.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780520409774-a-revolution-in-music.jpg?v=1777903214"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/evelyne-gayou.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
