A concrete nische

So in studying today for the first exam for the class, I think I finally understand the difference between Musique Concrete and Elektronische. Despite all our conversation in class, the difference between recorded and generated sounds didn't mean much to to me until I was able to sit down and spend time listening to several examples of each. I really resonated with Elektronische, I thought the ambient sounds they were able to produce were beautiful to listen to and imagine as a series of sound waves. To my ears though, Musique Concrete felt very much like amateur mixing. I know it was not at the time, but it still felt like it was not as advanced or as difficult to produce as the music from WDR.
