In Search of a Concrete Music
"Collects Schaeffer's journals and other writings about his musique concrete, which he created by manipulating recorded sounds."--Harper's"One of the postwar perìod's most significant (and readable) grapplings with new artistic paradigms."--Frieze"Completely changed how I hear the world and, after more than 30 years, I am still living with the consequences."--The Wire"One striking impression that emerges from reading this book is that [Schaeffer's] work merits a perspective with greater nuance."--Times Higher Education"Captures these uneven rhythms of intuition and perplexity, and his imagination and wit."--Los Angeles Review of Books
