		See also: 1951 in music, other events of 1952, 1953 in music, 1950s in music and the list of years in music // Events Pierre Schaeffer publishes his A la recherche dune musique concrÃ¨te (The Search for a Concrete Music), an explanation of his experimental approach to composing.
		There is what he terms 'directly expressive' concrete music, whose characteristics are the absence of strictly formal concerns and the relatively primitive nature of the material [4].
		Schaeffer did not abandon the term 'experimental music', but it lost its syncretic connotations; and the term 'concrete music' was in turn dissociated from the technical procedures of concrete music and thus reappeared in Schaeffer's later writing with a more comprehensive meaning.

	ANABlog: Robert Erickson, "Night Music"
		In 1966 Erickson, along with several other progressive composers, was invited to form a new music department at the University of California at San Diego, a school whose sybaritic setting belied its remarkable leanings toward the far-out in a number of academic disciplines.
		In his teaching, he imparts a healthy disrespect for textbook definitions of sounds and music; in one of the fascinating courses in the UC-San Diego curriculum students are encouraged to tape natural sounds of their own choosing and work them through electronic techniques into extended compositions - as Erickson himself did in Pacific Sirens.
		If I had to choose a single work to demonstrate the persistence of beauty in contemporary music, it might well be this haunting evocation, with the solo trumpet weaving an audible garland around a single obsessive note and the other instruments moving in and out of range like moonbeams.
