A really cool & interesting piece.

I personally wouldn't class it as Musique concrete (which is based on reduced listening) but consider it to be more of a sound collage with elements of plunderphonics.

How long did it take to assemble?

Thx for the share!

hah. nice. made my head spin a bit...but that's a good thing. like the stereo spread. i was expecting mike patton to go mental at some point, followed by some kids toys etc.........nice touch at the end too

thanks for your comments. it took several days to assemble, each sound was recorded one at a time.
it was fun actually. i made a bunch of them.
(this site has bugs: i already posted this reply, but it disappeared.)

fora: what are plunderphonics??

nightowl: pluderphonics is stealing sounds from different sources and then making a composition from them, in their original form...or summat like that. my dad once bought me a very odd plundrphonics book and cd for christmas...ooh, this one in fact: link

john lennon's piece "revolution 9" is described as both plunderphonics and musique concrete. which is it?
this just points out the difficulty to define genres. there are now 6,925,478 genres under the heading "electronic".
i hate all this genre-hair-splitting bullshit.

Revolution 9 is a mixed bag which indeed fuses concepts of reduced listening* and Plunderphonics. Although it's a great piece for it's time (considering it's a beetle's track) I feel it's a shoddy example of Musique concrète when compared to the works of Pierre Schaeffer,

thanks for the links--very educational! i have only read about pierre schaeffer but havent heard his pieces. are there any online that you know about??
sad thing was that he considered his experiments a failure at the end of his life.

Here you go!
