New music in the atomic age

pp. 283-284

Abstract

In 1948 in France, a new musical language began to be heard: concrete music. "Contemporary music is based on contemporary sound: A perfect universe of sound is working around us," said tone engineer and composer Pierre Schaeffer. He was the one who got the idea and developed the opportunities for realizing it within the framework of the French national radio (RTF).
