- Musique concrète
- a genre of electroacoustic music that is made in part from acousmatic sound. It can feature sounds derived from recordings of musical instruments, voice, and the natural environment as well as those created using synthesizers and computer-based digital signal processing. Also, compositions in this idiom are not restricted to the normal musical rules of melody, harmony, rhythm, metre, and so on. Originally contrasted with “pure” elektronische Musik (based solely on the production and manipulation of electronically produced sounds rather than recorded sounds), the theoretical basis of musique concrète as a compositional practice was developed by Pierre Schaeffer, beginning in the early 1940s.

Fuck you, I’m a poet.
I made this a long time ago, but other than hiding it at the bottom of my sidebar, never publicized it. Buy buy buy.

Permanent Press
You know folks,
washing machines really
should have a miscellaneous
odds and ends cycle.
A nice little catch all
setting that one wouldn’t judge
between and measure against.
Hell, I don’t really know what Permanent Press is.
But I always picture bell-bottomed
leisure suits when I select it
Do a little shuffle.
A little spin.
Can I get an ah-yeah!
Know that right.
Sleepless or Sleepful
Too much,
or too little,
we’re doomed
unless we create
a society
in which humans
can be humans again.http://t.co/vha5dCt0h4— Franklyn Monk (@fqmonk) February 4, 2015
