No razor blades were involved, were they?
RIP.

That would be true in most cases. However, the great Delia Derbyshire deplored the modular and compact synths, and their presence/increased use drove her out of the sound design game. I imagine she would have considered the iPad to be some type of malevolent sorcery!
We truly lost a great musical legend, but his legacy will live on in history books, in the experimental music techniques he invented, and in ANY sort of electronic music for that matter both old, modern, and yet to be created. RIP.![:( :(](https://forum.loopypro.com/resources/emoji/frowning.png)
For futurama fans.
oh gosh, that's terribly sad. such a stunning composer.
this is perhaps not the place to talk about it, but i don't think there's any real connection with electronic music of today and pioneers of musique concrete. the latter was not writing loopy 4/4 tonal melodies, albeit they both use similar technologies. instead i regard those two as discrete trajectories in music history. not saying the other is better than the other, just resisting the urge to see people like pierre henry as some sort of precursors to current electronic (pop-ish) music. in any case, rest in peace dear Henry.
I get where you are coming from.
When I came in from the wilderness and started hearing about Electronic Music Festivals, I was so jazzed. I honestly thought it was going to be crowds listening to Mumma, Stockhausen, Subotnick, etc...
I was less than thrilled when I found out it meant fucking DJs with laptops.
Oh well...
Sad. I have his album done with the rock band Spooky Tooth. Wierd stuff.
When I first entered college (first semester, Spring 2003), experimental music put me off initially. I didn't understand it. Then my Dad suggested I check out "Ceremony", because it was early metal mixed with "the strange stuff". That was my first taste of Pierre Henry, and that's when experimental music clicked with me and I realised I could reference other genres into my sonic experiments and eventually ween myself off of that into 100% experimental.
While I love EDM, I can't imagine a greater hell than being stuck in a crowd full of tweakers (half of whom probably don't bathe). Musique Concrete concerts and festivals are a much nicer atmosphere actually. Nice to be amongst a niche group of people who are into the same weird shit you are.
I could care less about the culture of EDM.

Actually, this is a good place to discuss things. It's probably what Pierre would've wanted. Anyways, to be more precise, I believe EDM music did not directly branch off from Musique Concrete but rather indirectly through borrowed techniques and borrowed aesthetics. Just like dance music often samples other tracks, it also borrows techniques too. Just my two cents, lol. I could be wrong.
Cool story. I'm going to have to dig the album out again. Not my favorite Spooky Tooth but an interesting one.
Yah, around 'civilians' I don't bother saying I am into electronic music these days. I just got tired of feeling compelled to say 'yes yes, fine there are djs and dancing etc etc but there is/was so much more too'.
