Musique Concrete (Shouts out to Nia!)

Musique concrete - a style of avant-garde music that uses environmental and non-inherently-musical sounds to create music.

Beautiful, complex, innovative. Musique concrete confronts the paradigm of music and examines the beauty of sounds in our environment, natural or synthetic. This youtube video plays the first musique concrete piece, composed in 1948 by Pierre Schaeffer. Enjoy
