Musique Concrete has been developed by Pierre Schaeffer, who regards it as the music of the future. It makes little or no use of musical instruments, and the ' music' is built up by superimposing tape recordings of sound effects, most of them distorted. Pierre Schaeffer's Symphonie pour un homme seul will be broadcast on Thursday evening at 7.40. The speaker is a music critic in Paris.
