John Akomfrah segment, discussing sound and noise on Art21, 2021

John Akomfrah (b. 1957) ^ ^

Musique concrète (French: “concrete music”), experimental technique of musical composition using recorded sounds as raw material. The technique was developed about 1948 by the French composer Pierre Schaeffer and his associates at the Studio d’Essai (“Experimental Studio”) of the French radio system. The fundamental principle of musique concrète lies in the assemblage of various natural sounds recorded on tape (or, originally, on disks) to produce a montage of sound. ( ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA )
