Evelyne Gayou: A Revolution in Music, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

"Finally, a text that is a reference source and tells the story and impact of the Groupe de Recherches Musicales from its beginning with Pierre Schaeffer and his many experiments at French National Radio."--John Chowning, Stanford University

"The clearest, most insightful, and most comprehensive history of the GRMin print*.* It is absolutely indispensable for understanding how musique concrète became a school of composition, a research program, a technological laboratory, and an institution."--Brian Kane, Yale University

"Évelyne Gayou's pathbreaking history of the GRM is now available in this beautiful English translation by David Vaughn. Of interest to both scholars and a general audience, it charts the course of a musical revolution that contributed to the evolution of cultural life in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries."--David W. Bernstein, Mills College at Northeastern University

"The evolution of musical languages is inextricably linked to technology. A Revolution in Music identifies the seminal importance of both the recording medium and the radio station to the development of contemporary musical thought. In this fluent translation, Gayou provides a comprehensive analysis of the interactions between people, technology, and composition at the GRM."--John Dack, Guildhall School of Music and Drama, UK
