I used to do a radio show of experimental music. Played this whole thing one wednesday afternoon. It was fun.
Avant-garde has so many hidden gems like this one....
more like avant-garde is itself a hidden gem
avant garde ou garde fou ?....
it's like FUCKING MUSIC !
Do share, please!
great music to listen to when you're in a green house watering plants
+Damien Ark this kind of music often inspires the animals and plants young man !! ;)
Thank you
Great music to listen to when you are the plant.
this is so deep and compelling that it is no surprise that autechre asked him to perform at the ATP festival they organized in 2003, was an honour to be part of it.
Chef d'œuvre incontestable de la musique électroacoustique !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!👌👌👌👌👌
quite possibile the best sonic work ever. THOSE SOUNDS!!!!!!! it never feels cluttered, everything has its space, its musical place, not a single wrong sounding element to be found. wow just fucking wow
ya this shit is so real.. I've been following sampling, sound effect music for 40 years and never heard this.. ABSOLUTELY FUCKIN AMAZING @!

Ever get the impression the French avant-garde crowd spend more time thinking up their titles than writing their music?
No! Take for example the first piece. It was made by modifying all the resonances of the attacks (resonances are electronic, attacks are acoustic). That take millions of hours in the analogic studio. Besides the technical part, "de natura sonorum" is really the masterpiece of electroacoustic music. Even today it sounds so actual.
You rock.
@@petretepner8027 That would indeed be very French of them.
The fact is that this kind of music is made for one to experience its decoding while having to serach for the right tools within different zones of our brains, sometimes very far from our comfort areas. It definitely was not composed to the immediate pleasure that we more oftenly seek when we pick something up to listen to, let´s say, as our daily basis soundtrack. My tendency when getting in touch with contemporary music is to let it freely trigger reasonings that I might not be aware I had until it comes to almost chemically excite and ignite me up. That would be one reason that I, from times to times, go back to let myself interact with modern and contemporary composers. Parmegiani´s"De Natura Sonorum" or "About the Nature of The Sound" in a free translation, is one of these works. It goes well beyond (for me) a mere compilation of erratic sounds but emulates a strange succession of sounds and silences that has the wand to lead me to other principles of reasoning and reflexion. Yup, it happens with Cage, Stockhausen, Penderecky, Harry Partch, Berio, Boulez, Hindemith, Milhaud and so many other great artists. It stirs my imagination without the intoxicating power of human passions. To shorten this statement: I like it so badly. Many thanks for posting it. Cheers!
I just found this gem and wholeheartedly agree!
I love it.
I have the same response to the cacophony of Merzbow.
This pokes my brain. Perfect refreshment after days listening to my friends annoying trashy club music.
This is a true masterpiece of electronic music, and of 20th-century music all told.
its so fucked up and off the and denies everything.. Ive been a weird music nut for like 40 years and ENO ertc thank gawd I found this ! love kraftwerk and old pink floyd THIS shit is GOLD
@@cut-- this is more sophisticated than ENO and Pink Floyd wrt musical composition.
I love so much the works of both Francois Bayle and Bernard Parmegiani. Vive la musique acousmatique!!
Bout to go down a Bayle rabbithole. Thanks
This is a banger for da club
slaps af
sound like sweet home alabama
The Gran Master's body is dead but his music and energy will flow everywhere for ever !!!!!
J'aime beaucoup sa musique. Toujours suave et délicate, libre comme le parfum.
After repeated listens, I have to say that I find this a fantastic record. This is as abstract as my wandering musical mind "gets" but it's just amazing how every single sound in this album has a completely distinguished character. They bubble, bounce, grind and soar through the ambiences, and the result it's sometimes tickling, sometimes abrasive, sometimes even melodic, but ALWAYS surprising. I'd really like to know if this record exerted some direct influence on artists such as Aphex Twin (Druqks era), because they aurally have much in common. Thanks for the upload!
Very direct influence on Aphex Twin and many other electronic music artists. Parmegiani is one of the greatest.
A fine musician of precision, great taste, structural intelligence and above all, accessibility in an area of music which is often marginalised outside popular culture. Could they bring back the marvellous Charles de Gaulle airport soundbite in homage ? That magical four seconds transformed travel - to and from Paris - into something very special; it cleverly underscored the extraordinary phenomenon of flight.
gorgeous - thank you
That was a magical sound experience, I am so glad to discover this. Thank you for the upload....now I have to spend at least 60 bucks for a copy on vinyl, but I think I will pay the price, because this is worth it.
This likely will sound better. If it's out of print don't bother.
Is the first time that I hear this music and the first time I've known this composer, this is stunning and absolutely wonderful
The title is an allusion to Penderecki's de natura sonoris 1 and 2, but the work of Parmagiani on the soound material is much more rigorous and ascetic than that of Penderecki. This is an attractive study.
La cima de la música concreta. Una conmovedora, extraña y poderosísima obra maestra. Al nivel de las mejores composiciones del siglo XX.
one of my heroes! words fail to describe such magnificence.
This is the first time I listen to Parmegiani's Music, really amazing.
RIP.
We listened to the first couple of minutes of this in my Electronic Music class, but woah! What happens next is amazing!
Ahead of its time, then and now.
what time what are you talking about
Well he was a researcher. Basically one of the first to do this kind of stuff, electro-acoustic music, or just experimental use of synthetic sounds.
I like a lot Parmegiani. I grew with this MUSIC. Thank You for sharing Wellesz.. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
amazing! thanks
Beautiful!
Thank you TheWelleszTheatre for uploading!
A Journey inside the sound, verry fine
I have a soso pc speaker set up and at times I can hear this behind me, to sides , up above, this is the best shit since KLF
@@cut-- you lucky man, enjoy it
Fantastic!! Thanks for the upload!!! :)
This is unbelievable, thanks for sharing
Excellent work, I love how the torrent of ideas coming dance at this glorious introspective masterpiece.
A great composer, and so a great loss.
A brilliant piece in an absolutely amazing audio-quality! Thanks so much for sharing!
Wonderful. Those sounds are amazing
A wonderful work. I'd love to see the score.
RIP, Maestro.
Such a beautiful piece.
Amazing!,the best sounds
Não tenho gosto para a música eletroacústica, mas não consegui parar de ouvir. Isso é genial. Arrepiante.
amazing work
Musique concrète! Danke fürs wertvolle Onlinestellen!
Did not know this work before ... I really was delighted by it, somewhat to my surprise! Thanks for taking me down an unexpected path.
Didn't know he passed. I discovered his music back in the mid 80's on the INA/GRM label. Thanks for sharing.
Parmegiani is one of the influences for artists such as Aphex Twin
I maybe can kind of see that but not really
@@coffeedude listen to Aphex Twin's "Perc #6" and the whole Drunkqs you'll understand.
@@marcosimioni_ Yeah in Drukqs it's pretty much inyour face all the time. I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote that tbh
@@coffeedude hahaha no worries bro
That's possible, but Aphex has made it very clear he's a big fan of Stockhausen's early electronic pieces, which came almost 20 years before this, so that seems like a bit of a redundant comment. Someone else in this thread talks about Drukqs, Gwarek2 is more or less a homage to Stockhausens Kontakte.
This is the textbook definition of mindblowing, whatever that might be. Thank you for this upload.
damnnnn.... this guy is amazing. I can't believe this was made in the '70s.
Sounds very '70's to me.
@@rubewaddell1704 - yep, and I wish it would come back
@@hostnik777 yep. Loved the '70's.
@@rubewaddell1704 The fact it was made by splicing tape and not digital editing still invites incredulity.
Je remercierai jamais assez les Tontons flingueurs pour m'avoir fait découvrir ce type de musique.
Fascinating composition.
Love his work!
Salome Voegelin brought me here. Thanks for sharing!
amazing!!
always great mister Master Parmegiani :) !!!!!!!!
How can a genius harmonize its delirium to compose a masterpiece such this? A mystery for me.
so intriguing!
A totally new name for me! Thank you!
Lovely music, but I would - as the the first part of the music - place it in the mid or late 50:s rather than 1975, but as I get further into the piece I do hear the later influences... I can sort-of hear the precursor to e.g. Åke Parmerud. Beautiful.
I shall look for more of him and add this piece as a musical favorite.
OMFG this is absolutely incredible
I've never heard anything like this.
Not even remotely close.
Amazing.
Vicious.
So good!
This electroacoustic piece is just phenomenal!
so beautiful
Masterpiece!
I love acousmatic music! If you like this piece, listen to François Bayle's music. It's fantastic too!
Very interesting.
🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🎧✌👌
J'adore 👌
Excellent
I've finally found it. The perfect homework music.
Perfect.
bravo
Unbelievably good.
wow
just wow
Love it
Géologie Sonore fucks me up big time. absolutely amazing
What a Chef d'Oeuvre !!
"De Natura Sonorum" a real classic.
I think my brain is more bigger than my head now
so interesant
Art is definitely not only private. We live in a rock culture, hence rock is immediately approachable to us; our expectations, surroundings, education all affect our appreciation of art and what we are looking for in it. You said it yourself that you've enjoyed the piece - formalities (e.g. symphony) are a thing of culture and history - not of art itself. And novel art is (in the first few centuries anyway) often art to just a few; until it becomes widely understood throughout the culture.
preposterously great, what a guy
demasiado lindo
Genio
When I was younger, I listened to 50 cent. If I had have listened to Parmegiani then I wouldn't have enjoyed it. Nor should I have because I wasn't ready for it. Lately I've been craving stranger and more abstract music. Music that one can sink into. You should recognize that this music is subtly brilliant, as it attracts the unconscious mind. But really you should be questioning the music you prefer and wondering if it satisfies you.
masterpiece
I've listened to a fair bit of collage, musique concrete and experimental electronic music in general over the last quarter century... dis wonz a killah
Thank goodness I'm not evolved enough to appreciate this. I'm still listening to musical notes composed with human toil that actually tell a story and have direction. You know, that silly Western music
so many advertisements in between. #fml
love the music so ok.
At 29:30 when all that sound and noise starts up, it is amazing. A highlight of the listening experience.
this music predates even John cage.. it also mimics himalayan bowl singing ..CAVE PAINTIBG --this enters every part of your ear canal even if you thought it was dead! it's not dead ! Eno, Fripp, Kaftwerk, LAST BUT not least Kurzweil.. this is what one thing I've been searching for my WHOLE LIFE !
Ray Kurzweil never composed any music. He was an insane transhumanist who thought humanity could be uploaded to artificial intelligence because he missed his daddy. Humans can not combine with machines, if you believe that then you are evil.
Besides Xenakis, Parmegiani is my other favorite electro-acoustic composer. Their creativity and versatility are almost symphonic in scope. Thank you so much for the upload!
Hi Eric, try Stockhausen as well, if you already haven't
PiEndsWith0 Yep, have been into his life/work for decades. Although, besides Gesang de Junglinge, I think he only wrote electro-acoustic/electronic music between 1952-60 (including Etude, the 2 Studies and Kontakte) I think there may be 1 or 2 works for orchestra & tape from the 70's too, but I'm not totally sure. But what an incredible man. He made huge contributions to 20th Century music!
PiEndsWith0 BTW, that WAS me, Eric Kruger, replying to you using my other Google acct…sorry if that was confusing!
douggrave
no problem at all! These works are beautiful... there were some later on (e.g. Cosmic Pulses from 2007. Very good btw). For me, the best one were Hymnen which were finished in 1967. Hymnen are electronic with optional live players. So that's that.
Could you perhaps be kind enough to suggest other electronic composers?
PiEndsWith0 Oh yeah! How could I forget Hymnen. I bought 2 copies on LP back in the 80's cuz I knew I'd wear it out!
Other electronic/electro-acoustic composers that I love are Francis Dhomont, Tod Dockstader, Paul Dolden, and Iancu Dumitrescu (usually composes mostly for orchestra). For that matter, there are many post-war composers that began composing textural works for orchestra that almost SOUND electronic. There was even a stylistic term called "Sound Mass" to describe them: Penderecki, Ligeti, Nono, Scelsi were some of more notable ones. Then again, you may already be very familiar with them since your tastes seem relatively esoteric already!
good
Complexity is product of Perfection and herex we have a real demonstration
ffs y is this so good
IV. Etude élastique 13:37
So the possum is stuck inside some kind of plastic container while someone is playing racquetball, later he manages to get him and his cage outside where there's a thunder storm.
That might illuminate the Sun Ra !!!
+sun ra THE Sun Ra, you're sure ???.............. :)
What vulvatronic says is also important. If you believe you can do it, do it. You will learn a lot in the process. If what you do is good to you, publish it here. There you go!
This work demands to be heard on a very high quality audio system (
Levinson, Krell, Wilson Audio). It then becomes an entirely brave new world..It is magnificent!
yet you are here listening to a lossy version with tape hiss
pt 3 The reason we don't have right & wrong music is because art itself is no harm to anybody, and it often rejuvenates from contradictions of old patterns, so it has nothing to do with one's taste.
Damn right.
@Wellesz you are awesome.
Hatred is blind, as well as love.
Incredible, rich universe of sound. Clue me in, though: is this the original 1975 recording of this album, or a live version recorded later? Because if this is indeed the original, this man was clearly a prophetic genius.
