Historical second collection of musique concrète compiled in 1957 and featuring Pierre Henry, Pierre Schaffer and Michel Philippot.

condition (record/cover): VG+ (light marks not affecting play) / VG (partial spine repair with tape + minimal wear)  - Second Panorama De Musique Concrète on Ducretet Thomson extends the survey, acknowledging that one disc couldn't capture everything. The "second" implies series, ongoing documentation of a field that kept producing work faster than any anthology could absorb.

Ducretet Thomson's commitment to this music deserves recognition. Commercial labels rarely sustained such projects; the audience for musique concrète was never large enough to justify extensive investment. Yet here was a second panorama, evidence that someone believed the first had found listeners, that demand existed for more.

The LP closes this catalog's survey of French experimental music, from Luc Ferrari's intimacies through Pierre Henry's apocalypses to these institutional compilations that attempted to make sense of it all. The range is staggering: half a century of sonic experiment compressed into vinyl grooves, available to anyone willing to drop the needle and listen.
