Parmegiani is definitely one of the greatest masters of his art. I am struck by his imaginative innovations, the stunning stereo effects, and the clean quality of this work that had to be manufactured by tape editing - no computers! The reverberations had to be made by playing the signals through loudspeakers in a large empty bare walled room, and picked up from distantly placed microphones. Echoes were made using a tape that passed through a whole set of variably placed playback heads!

Michael Berridge could also be plate reverb. EMT.

Fiona Apple seems to have struck upon organic sounds now with Fetch the Bolt Cutters

Une histoire racontée pour nos oreilles...On y ajoute un bon coup d'oeil ! Merci ! J'arrive tard, soit, mais je m'y blottis...

[@notaire2]

I simply cannot believe this unique work was composed almost fifty years ago. Still fresh, and probably ever fresh!

[@anthonycostine5067]

Sensational! I love the French-style tap dancing at 10.33.....

[@echriton]

Bernard Parmegiani's gone. Thank him for his works which will remain forever.

[@lanslater]

Thanks a lot to you The WellesTheatre for sharing this. I heard a bit on Lyric fm Bernard Clarkes Nova show last night 6-1-2013 8-10pm and of course had to hear more more more.

[@Ghoopty]

Agreed. Who has this courage nowadays??

[@Ghoopty]

I was referring to musicians & composers, not an arrogant idiot pretending to be a politician.

a true masterpiece. love his use of the train

[@jamespiano1]

your last thought makes me wonder if you really understand the deeper intentions of the composer..

[@alainperrieregenevincent54]

Dans la pure tradition de la musique mathématiques. La partition de ce morceau est étonnante. Traitement du son, bande magnétique passée à l'envers, effets analogiques, tout est excellent.

[@Protonixum]

Musique mathématique ??? Je ne sais s'il faut y voir des objets mathématiques dans la musique concrète, mais pourquoi pas.

[@altera.W]

che bello… wow!

[@tangoalpha1347]

plus de 7000 vus pour ce chef-d'oeuvre, combien pour les fadaises pop?? en tous les cas depuis que j'ai découvert cet artiste je l'écoute le plus souvent possible et j'en fais la promotion. repose en paix Parmegiani

Native Instruments try to replicate some of the synth patches being used here...from 1970!

Brilliant

[@rolfisdreamworld489]

verry exiting

[@cymo_fr]

Vous entendez aussi les "citations" de la "Messe pour le temps présent" de Pierre Henry à partir de 2'56 ?

[@luxinveritate3365]

That chord at 6:09 remind me of the sacrificial dance near the end of Stravinskys 'le sacre'. Lol had to chuckle at that.

[@Bugy34]

si quelqu'un peut m'expliquer son point de vue sur ça, je serais preneur :) j'aime la musique, je joue d'un instrument, mais j'avoue que je ne comprends pas trop ce genre de musique....:/ pour moi c'est plutot du bruit, mais je ne saisi pas de mélodie par exemple. Donc qu'est-ce que l'artiste voulait faire passer ? quel style de musique est-ce ? y'a t'il un enchainement logique ? merci !

and this was before Kraftwerk ...

[@capitanmission]

and all them are great artist. enjoy

[@Pingshifu]

"Can" sample @2:56 ?!

[@janniscarbotta3725]

I think it's "Ogdens Nut Flake" by The Small Faces

[@Ghoopty]

Disturbing, uncompromising and ahead of its time.

[@nestorcannistra2103]

Vraiment pas bien du tout je ne comprends pas comment ça peut-être classé parmi la catégorie musique et pas catégorie bruit bon sang!

[@kekevil]

Vous avez raison c'est du bruit, mais du bruit qui pense.

[@ricohplio]

@@kekevil Exact. Tous les sons sont du bruit. Que ce soit à partir d'un instrument fabriqué ou d'un son de la nature. Pour comprendre il faut partir de zéro sans chercher à mettre en parallèle cette musique et les musiques instrumentales.
