In the early 50's, Pierre Henry and Pierre Schaeffer founded the GRMC (Groupe de recherche de musique concrète) within the French National Broadcasting Company and invented Music Concrète, a new style of contemporary music using sound/recording technology. Henry released this historical masterpiece in 1968. The music was created for a stage performance by choreographer Maurice Bejart, and even after more than 50 years, its innovative ideas remain unchanged, such as A1, a mix of flowery psychedelic rock and electronic sounds composed by Michel Colombier, and A2/B1, composed only by electronic sound resonance. The novel ideas of A1 and A2/B1, which consist only of electronic sound resonance, still stimulate listeners more than 50 years later without fading away.
