musique concrète
Music created by reworking natural sounds recorded on disk or tape. It was developed in 1948 by Pierre Schaeffer and Pierre Henry in the drama studios of Paris Radio. The term was used to differentiate the process from electronic music, which used synthesized tones and sounds. From the mid-1950s the two techniques were usually combined, and the term is now purely historic.
