Definition
"La musique concrète" is a musical genre that involves the use of recorded natural sounds, which are then edited, manipulated, and assembled electronically to create compositions, rather than relying solely on traditional musical instruments or notation.
The term "la musique concrète" originated in France during the 1940s, coined by composer Pierre Schaeffer. It means 'concrete music,' referring to the use of real-world sound recordings as concrete material for musical creation, contrasting with abstract notation of traditional music.
