musique concrete.

Started in 1940 by Pierre Schaeffer, music was about to be taken to a level that has never been explored before. Concrete artists were influenced by their surroundings and use of random objects around them to create noise they would later distort with the technology available to them. Concrete music gives the artist and opportunity to take sounds and distort them by playing them backwards,using repetition,ect. Tape recorders played such a major part in this movement because it meant even the most basic sounds could be transformed into something extraordinary. The overall movement reminds me of electronic music.
