As the Subjects implies: here's something to lighten up (for anybody who
just didn't know) ;o)...

the term 'Music concr\ufffdte' has it's roots in the thirties of the twentieth
Century in France. So, concr\ufffdte doesn't mean the grey, stonecold
Masonry-material, it means the other ;o)...

These french guys were pioneers of electronic musical arts. They worked with
any kind of generating sounds, and a lot of unusual techiques to alienate
them. They pushed the emancipation of noise in the art of music as a kind of
instrument. A new radical vision of music was born, which we all still pay
tribute to. So, the original poster was absolutely right! 'Natural' noise
(as your aircraft-music) was a main theme in music concr\ufffdte.

Anybody who is intrested in the roots of modern electronic music should have
a look at this - I had a lot of cool ideas only by reading some stuff about
the musical developments in Europe in the early twentieth Century!

without wanting to be a better-knower :),
