Electronic studio and musique concrète
From HitStory, the pop encyclopedia of School of Rock · Genre
Electronic studio and musique concrète · In 1948 Pierre Schaeffer in Paris made music out of recorded sounds: musique concrète. In 1951 the broadcaster WDR in Cologne set up a studio for electronic music, with oscillators, filters and tape recorders; Karlheinz Stockhausen composed there with scissors and sticky tape. And at Philips in Eindhoven Dick Raaijmakers and Tom Dissevelt worked. Ten years later these tape techniques found their way into pop music.
