Noise or Electricity?
Born from noise or electricity? 🎛️
France started with recorded sounds; Germany started with electronically produced tones.
France made tape into a compositional tool ✂️
Schaeffer treated recordings as raw material, and the sources link that approach to later sampling.
Germany pushed pure electronic tone 🎚️
The Cologne studio focused on electronically generated sounds, helping define synthesis from the start.
Those two impulses still meet today 🔊
Recorded sound and pure synthesis keep reappearing in noise, ambient, sampling, and club-oriented electronic music.
