So - what does other people's work sound like?
Your "own style" of musique concrète may not be anything
like anyone else's. This is OK. But there are times when the
best of us can need just a little inspiration, and listening to work by
other artists can help here.
Some other people's work ...
The links on this page lead to a range of works by other
artists:

Daphme Oram was the first composer to work at
the Radiophonic Workshop back in 1958.
There's some information about her, with a brief sound clip
describing how she made her music in this piece from BBC News.
Some more extracts from her work can be found at paradigm
discs. |
Elizabeth Parker was the last composer to work
at the Radiophonic Workshop - she now works independently.
Her work for BBC
Wildlife on One includes some wonderful examples of musique
concrète applied to a documentary.

John Baker was a jazz musician who also worked
with musique concrète at the RWS in the 1960s. He had a
reputation for getting the most amazing sounds from joining the
tiniest pieces of audio tape - he had the knack of giving his music
"that jazz swing".
Trunk Records have released a good collection of his work on CD :
The
Baker Tapes. |
