Musique concrète
Composers including John Cage, Edgar Varèse, Karheinz Stockhausen and Iannis Xenakis experimented with "musique concrète," and Bebe and Louis Barron used it to create the first totally electronic film soundtrack, for the 1956 science fiction film "Forbidden Planet". "Musique concrète" was brought to a mainstream audience by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, which used these early sampling techniques to produce soundtracks for shows including "Doctor Who".
