Abstract

This work was born out of the need for tools for the description of listening experiences of electroacoustic music, this genre considered from the perspective of musique concrète as elaborated by Pierre Schaeffer in 1948. For this purpose, this research comprises a critical reading of the Traité des objets musicaux (Schaeffer, 1966) and of other more recent works by his followers Denis Smalley and Michel Chion. The very problem which I engage discusses the existence of a referential system as a means for describing and analysing listening experiences (AU)
