steve reich "early works" (includes, "come out," "it's gonna rain," etc.) i forgot the name of the compilation (i feel like it's on caipirinha)but it includes pierre schaeffer, pierre henri, luc ferrari, and other cats. that's a good one. a real cool record that's not QUITE musique concrete but just came to mind is "I am sitting in a room" by alvin lucier. he records a lil speech describing what the track is about, plays it back in the room, records that, plays THAT back in the room, etc. etc. until all you hear are "the resonant frequencies of the room [reinforcing themselves]." not musique concrete but some cool ass shit with tape. :) umm... anyone else have any ideas? z _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
