Description

The Treatise on Musical Objects is regarded as Pierre Schaeffer’s most important work on music and its relationship with technology. Schaeffer expands his earlier research in musique concrète to suggest a methodology of working with sounds based on his experiences in radio broadcasting and the recording studio. Drawing on acoustics, physics, and physiology, but also on philosophy and the relationship between subject and object, Schaeffer’s essay summarizes his theoretical and practical work in music composition. Translators Christine North and John Dack present an important book in the history of ideas in Europe that will resonate far beyond electroacoustic music.

Author Biography:

Composer, writer, electronic engineer, administrator Pierre Schaeffer (1910-1995) was the inventor of musique concrete created by combining and manipulating recorded sounds (rather than being played on conventional musical instruments). Christine North studied French at Oxford University and subsequently became a Senior Lecturer in French at Middlesex University before working currently as a translator of French poetry and academic texts. John Dack is Senior Lecturer in Music and Technology. He works at the Faculty of Arts and Creative Industries and the Faculty of Science and Technology, Middlesex University, London, UK.
