De la musique concrète à l'objet sonore : genèse et paradoxes de la recherche schaefferienne

Sylvie Dallet, Pierre Schaeffer and the Revolution of Concrete Music Concrete music appears in the the work of Pierre Schaeffer as the revolutionary culmination of a general reflection about image and sound in contemporary societies. This work explores new technologies in order to rediscover spacial-temporal phenomena which, previously, only the ear could apprehend. In Schaeffer 's thinking, we cannot dissociate the capacity to appreciated traditional music and the audiovisual field in its broadest sense.Dallet Sylvie.
