French composer, writer, broadcaster, and engineer most widely recognized as the chief pioneer of musique concrète, a unique form of experimental music that began in Europe during the mid-1900s. His writings (which include written and radio-narrated essays, biographies, short novels and a number of musical treatises) are often oriented towards his development of the genre, as well as the theoretics and philosophy of music in general. He is considered one of the most important experimental musicians.
