We watched the video about Pierre Henry, a man who was involved with the genesis of music concrete. It was amazing to see this man in the video, walking around the city with his stereo mics and was just recording what we would normally consider noise. To him it's all music! Even though I don't really like music concrete and noise, I do understand his passion for it. It made me respect music based on noise more.
Some of his works are truly not understandable but they are at least to him and many others who love music concrete. But despite that, there are moments when it unfolds really beautifully.
Another aspect of music concrete and the type of music Henry is associated with is the fact that we as people who have good hearings might take our good hearing for granted. Henry's music encourage us to listen to the beauty and blessings of hearing. The presentation ended with Stephen showing us some of his works.
