Monolingual Grounds
Unfortunately, the major works that stay behind groundbreaking breakthroughs and found new ways in music stay within the linguistic area and framework of the author. This book is no exception from this rule. It was written almost half a century ago and no English from French translation has appeared hence. Although Schaeffer's books have philosophical bias, their philosophy is pragmatic in its inner core, and as I read them it became obvious that I drastically changed my outlook on what music is and how to do it. This book is a must-read for each endeavoring and seeking artist, for artist who work to expand what music is, might be, and will be.
I re-read certain parts relating my current work from this book before I start composing my things.
