Pierre Schaeffer (something with a title that's messed up)

This is musique concrete (obviously, since he invented it) in it's purest form. It uses a bunch of non-musical sounds to make music, using only the basic taperecorder of the time. Outside of the record noise, the piece has a lot of really interesting sounds. There's a sound somewhere in the middle that reminds me very distinctly of a motorcycle driving past, but I also hear something that sounds like a jet engine, and they could easily be the same sound with the speed changed or altered in some other way. I also hear some high pitched electronic sounds that could easily be sine waves because of how piercing they are. Also there are things that sound like bells. I'm not sure if this is right, but I hear sounds panning between the two speakers in kind of a sweep that makes it sound like the sound is moving in front of your face from one side to the other. I could almost visualize it moving.

It was a curious little piece, but I couldn't really gather any sort of mood from it. Again, it seemed more experimental than musical.
