musique concrète

M. C. Schmidt was a great speaker, I really enjoyed the enthusiasm he had for what he does. The sounds they use in their compositions are brilliant. Its amazing how they can take sounds of surgeries, and a violin bow on a rat cage into obscurely beautiful sounding beats. I thought their visuals were really…

M.C. Schmit

The lecture we attended was a detailed introduction into the history of, noise music. The lecture was entertaining to say the least. A seldom, well marketed art form in the world of music, its elements of using unconventional sounds from unconventional sources, can be seen in a great deal of modern music from all genres….

A Hammer Fell in Space and Somewhere Two Worlds Collided

How can I describe what it was like to see Marshall Schmidt? – Its pretty near impossible. I was pretty blown away with not only his incredible conceptual musical ideas, but also his absolutely charming personality. He is such an entertainer and an absolute joy to be around.

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.

I thought his explanation on Music Conoet (is that spelled right?) and Pierre Shafer was very informative and expanded my knowledge…

A Glow- Glow

There are vertical columns referred to as ‘the volume’ which is activated by…

other than human project

I stumbled across this video on Youtube, and found it pretty interesting. According to the video’s title, it’s called the “Other than Human Project,” presumably because of the extra terrestrial feel to the lights used. Basically, a person enters a room, and light is projected at them, and responds to their movements. It’s a pretty…
