New 樂/乐 for a New Age
The world at the end of the 19th and early 20th century was a rapidly changing place The invention of the motor car and the 扩张 of factories made the world a much 更响 and busy place
The Italian 未来主义者 were excited by all of the new 技术 being 发明 at the beginning of the 20th Century cars telephones aeroplanes trains many of which we take for granted these days
They felt that 传统 樂/乐 was out of date boring and stuck in the past And they wanted to 创作 a new style of 樂/乐 that would fit with this new 现代 world
Appreciating All Sounds
One of the 未来主义者 Luigi 卢梭洛 争论 that most 樂/乐 was only made with about four or five different 种类 of 声波
乐器 played with the bow
plucked 乐器
brass 乐器
woodwinds and
打击乐
He demanded
“We must break out of this 窄 circle of [note] 声 and conquer the infinite variety of [all] 声
Let us therefore invite young 音乐家 of genius and audacity { thats you! } to 听 attentively to all 声 so that they can 理解 the varied 节奏 [and tones] of which they are composed […]
Then when 对比 the varied 音色 of 声 and 噪 with those of 樂/乐 音 they will be convinced by how much more interesting [all 声 are than the few 传统 乐队 sounds] ”

New 声 from New Technology
As the 技术 发展 and improved throughout the early 20th Century ever more exciting 可能性 for 创作 樂/乐 became available
皮埃尔 舍费尔 was working as a technician at the French 无线电 RTF in the 1940′s when he became fascinated with the 可能性 of 录制 声波 He 录制 声 onto vinyl disks like LP records and then explored the 变形 that were 可能 for 例如 reversing 声 转换 time-stretch and loops
Using these 技术 he 发明 a style of 樂/乐 which he called 樂/乐 Concrète
Etude Tourniquets 1948
An excerpt from one of 皮埃尔 Schaeffer's five 研究 in 声波
Extra
Inspired by 未来主义者 like 卢梭洛 皮埃尔 舍费尔 made 录音 of the city around him and brought them back into the 工作室 to 创作 作品 of ‘Musique Concrète’ His early 作品 ‘Étude aux chemins de fer‘ ['Railway Study'] made in 1948 used 录音 made at a railway depot in Paris
Using the 处理 技术 that he had experimented with he 寻求 to 变形 拼贴 and 探索 the 节奏 属性 of the railway 声 创作 a 作品 that highlighted the beauty of the 声 themselves
Summary New 樂/乐 Possibilities
錄/录 技术 changed 樂/乐 forever Any 声波 can now be captured 控制 and organised to 创作 new 作品
It allows us to do things with 声波 that were never before 可能 And lets us break 自由 from the limitations of 传统
算機/计算机 give everyone access to 工具 for 声波 变形 and 组织 opening up the full world of 声 to all
Mic+Speaker
Fact
The majority of 樂/乐 that we 听 would 不 存在 without the 技术 of 錄/录
