I thought the M.C. Schmidt lecture was very interesting and unique. I learned a lot about music concret such as the origin and the importance of timbre. The first piece he presented, I think it was called “Three Guitar,” was really cool especially since I couldn’t even tell he used guitars in it. It amazed me how he could get such a good sound from the nerve crayfish tissue. I like his idea of conceptual restriction, the use of one sound source, like the medical sounds and rat cage. Overall I had a really good experience with M.C. Schmidt, because he presented himself in a composed, yet comical way. I enjoyed his lecture and took a lot away from it.
