audc projects superbrutalism: an architecture for muzak In 1948, Pierre Schaeffer, a broadcast engineer for Radiodiffusion-Télévision Française took the noises of trains and banging saucepans and, after hours of editing the tapes with a razor blade, constructed two pieces of music: Étude aux Chemins de Fer and Études aux Cassaroles. After these sound collages were broadcast on the radio, Schaeffer would term them musique concrete. AUDC aims for nothing less than the architectural equivalent. |
