		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.

	Music \| Desert music (Site not responding. Last check: )
		I was a little city kid squinting at a smogless sky, and what I noticed more than anything was the sound of the desert, the sound of nothing but wind and breath, lizards in bushes, the crunch of loose rock under my sandals.
		In his 1954 "Desert Music" — a poem that years later would inspire composer Steve Reich to imagine such a music — William Carlos Williams heard the desert as music that surrounded and engulfed him, "a music of survival, subdued, half heard."
		Van Dyke once characterized the desert as a place where "everything within in its borders seems fighting to maintain itself against destroying forces." The desert music of my grandparents now reflects that fight: the incessant anxious hum of my grandmother as she talks to herself, the exhaling hiss of my grandfather’s dialysis machine.

	Mary Ellen Bute: Seeing Sound
		She was drawn into filmmaking by a collaboration with the musician Joseph Schillinger, who had developed an elaborate theory about musical structure, which reduced all music to a series of mathematical formulae.
		Many pieces of music may share exactly the same mathematics quantities, but the qualities that make one of them a memorable classic and another rather ordinary or forgettable involves other non-mathematical factors, such as orchestral tone color, nuance of mood and interpretation.
		In the 1954 Abstronic, Mary Ellen uses her own paintings, with a kind of surrealist depth perspective, zooming in and out in rhythmic pulsations synched with the beat of "hoe down" music.

	Irish Traditional Music
		Folk music is the product of a musical tradition that has been evolved through the process of oral transmission.
		Traditional music comprises two broad categories; instrumental music, which is mostly dance music (reels, jigs, hornpipes, polkas and the like), and the song tradition, which is mostly unaccompanied solo singing.
		Traditional music has always drawn on many influences and sources: for example, the ballroom schottisches and polkas of polite 19th-century society, English music-hall songs, Scottish bagpipe music, and even the music of visiting flface minstrel troupes.

		An American music giant of the 20th century who singlehandedly changed the course of music and culture in the mid-1950s, Presley used his knowledge of fl music to develop a style that was sexy yet innocent, wild yet warm.

		Presley would continue to be influenced by the blues throughout his career, always recalling the delicate balance of fl and white music that made rock & roll the greatest and most democratic of all American pop forms.

	John Greschak - Composers on Mathematical Music: Subtext 9632936
		by 1954 [multiserial music] was already in the process of deflation, for the completely deterministic complexity of the operations of composition and of the works themselves produced an auditory and ideological nonsense.
		Here, in a few words, is the possible escape route from the “linear category” in musical thought.
		For if, thanks to complexity, the strict, deterministic causality which the neo-serialists postulated was lost, then it was necessary to replace it by a more general causality, by a probabilistic logic which would contain strict serial causality as a particular case.
