Cinq études de bruits (Five Studies of Noises) is a collection of musical compositions by
Pierre Schaeffer. The five études were composed in 1948 and are the earliest pieces of musique
concrète, a form of electroacoustic music that utilises recorded sounds as a compositional
resource.
The five études were composed at the studio Schaeffer established at RTF (now ORTF),
Studio d’Essai. They are:
Étude aux chemins de fer – trains
Étude aux tourniquetes – toy tops and percussion instruments
Étude violette
Étude noire – piano sounds recorded for Schaeffer by Boulez
Étude pathétique – sauce pans, canal boats, singing, speech, harmonica, piano
The works were premiered via a broadcast on 5 October 1948, titled Concert des bruits.
