Pierre Schaeffer

Pierre Henri Marie Schaeffer (August 14, 1910-August 19, 1995) was a French composer, noted as the inventor of musique concrète. The term is often misunderstood as referring to simply making music out of "real world" sounds, or sounds other than those made by musical instruments. Rather, it is a wider attempt to allow new ways of musical expression.
