Heard

Nothing in the corpus yet that this genre heard.

Musique concrète

practice · 1948–

Also called concrete music

Studio practice of composing with recorded sound on tape and loudspeaker (Schaeffer, Henry, the Paris GRM). Empty extra Received is historically checked. Serialism leftover as an opposed Darmstadt/Cologne sibling, not a parent. Radio-art leftover as a neighboring studio job, not a parent. It already gives Industrial the tape-and-noise job recoded as a band. Elektronische Musik leftover as a Cologne oscillator sibling, not a child. Acousmatic leftover as a later concert name on this node. Ambient leftover as later studio ethic; Eno testimony is not an edge.

Passed on

Industrial genre · 1976–

Mechanism

Industrial takes musique concrète’s tape-and-found-sound job — splice, loop, loudspeaker — and recodes it as a band. Strength high. Elektronische Musik leftover as a Cologne oscillator sibling, not this tape parent. Punk leftover as the independent-band public (other edge).

Evidence

Throbbing Gristle and Cabaret Voltaire’s tape collages against Schaeffer/Henry studio grammar (Grove); Industrial Records as the named hinge from étude to group.

Debate

Whether industrial simply is concert tape music with a drummer. The GRM étude is musique concrète’s; the factory-noise band is the named recoding.
