Also, I had the chance to listen to the 3 tracks in the Sound Unbound CD that Pat assigned:
1) Iannis Xenakis - Concrete Ph: I tried to figure out what source of audio Xenakis used in this piece but I really had no idea, especially when I looked it up. It's amazing to hear what the composers were doing back in the 50s. It looks like Xenakis is using different effects to create sounds in this track. Truly innovative for his time and something we still see in today's music.
2) Edgard Varèse - Poème Électronique: This track is a collection of sounds mixed together. I can hear some instruments and vocals. Just like the previous track, all of these sounds seem to be altered with filters and effects (echoes, fade ins, fade outs, phasers, etc). Something I found very interesting, and I'm sure it was revolutionary in its day, is the use of the sound panning.
3) Cinq Études De Bruits: Etude Violette - Pierre Schaeffer: Although this piece is a lot shorter than the other two, it is still very interesting. It sounds like Schaeffer enjoyed mixing sounds of different nature. I believe I can hear something that resembles a wind chime and maybe some rain in the background. This piece has an eerie vibe to it. Again, it can be clearly heard how Schaeffer used different techniques to modify sounds.
