PIERRE SCHAEFFER, 1953: TOWARDS AN EXPERIMENTAL MUSIC

For anyone who might be interested, here's a very nice Pierre Shaeffer
paper -- "PIERRE SCHAEFFER, 1953: TOWARDS AN EXPERIMENTAL MUSIC" --
written by Carlos Palombini:

"An analysis of the relationship between Pierre Schaeffer and the
musical avant-garde of 1953, with particular reference to Pierre
Boulez and to Schaeffer's shift from musique concr�te to recherche
musicale. The main source is Schaeffer's 'Vers une musique
exp�rimentale' (La revue musicale 236); extensive excerpts are
translated here into English. The antagonism between the Paris and
Cologne studios is discussed in the light of two different approaches
to technology and tradition; for the exponents of elektronische Musik
new technology was a means to perfect Western music, while for
Schaeffer it was simply a means to make new musical discoveries."
