Musique concrète


Concrete Music was developed by Pierre Schaeffer in 1940. The photo to the left shows Schaeffer and the Moog synthesizer he used to create music. This music is very similar to the music we listen to today. The art form of making music on synthesizers instead of using traditional instruments. Earlier forms of concrete music had basic sound recorded on a tape. The tape was then cut into fragments, rearranged and pasted back together. They would then replay the edited tape in various speeds.
