Listening…:: Musique concrète

In 1948, Pierre Schaeffer broadcast over French radio a “Concert of Noises”, a set of pieces composed entirely from recordings of train whistles, spinning tops, pots and pans, canal boats, percussive instruments and the occasional piano. This week we read a text by Schaeffer on Acousmatics and listen to excerpts from works by Pierre Schaeffer, Pierre Henry and others. “Listening to Donald Judd” is a collaboration between BEK and The Bergen National Academy of the Arts.

Listening…: Early electronic music and sound/The World Soundscape Project

This session will be divided into two parts.

Murray Schafer in Vancouver in the early 70s, providing a critical documentation and examination of the urban and rural soundscapes surrounding us. “Listening to Donald Judd” is a collaboration between BEK and The Bergen National Academy of the Arts.
