About the Author
Composer, writer, and electronic engineer Pierre Schaeffer (1910-1995) was the inventor of musique concrete-music created by combining and manipulating recorded sounds, rather than being played on conventional musical instruments. Christine North is a translator of French poetry and academic texts. John Dack is Senior Lecturer in Music and Technology at Middlesex University.
Reviews
"[Christine North and John Dack's] English translation is as effective as Schaeffer's text, which in turn exercises its full correlative power to English readers to the extent that the translators have rendered it." * Association for Recorded Sound Collections Journal *
