The sound assembly , also called sound collage or more simply collage , is, in music, a technique that consists in associating pre -existing sounds and recordings with each other in order to create new songs. [first]

Although the origins of sound assembly are traced back to the Sonata Battalia Di Heinrich Biber (1673), Al Don Giovanni (1789) by Mozart and in some passages of the Mahler’s symphonies, the first examples in which the technique was adopted were perhaps those present in some compositions of Charles Iats. Some musical forms and procedures, such as quodlibet, medley, potpourri and centonization, differ from collage since their elements are combined in a balanced way, in the latter, however, the discrepancies of key, stamp, textures and metro contribute to preserve the individuality of the individual constitutive elements and to communicate the impression of a heterogeneous assembly. [2]

Although it is often identified with the figurative arts, the sound assembly technique in bottle music, Mozart, Mahler and Ives in fact anticipates the pictorial style of Picasso and Braque, to which the first works of Collage art are attributed. However, the composition Central Park in the Dark (1906) by Ives, which recalls the impression of a walk in the city, was made through the stratification of many distinct melodies and quotes.

The first example of sound assembly created electronically is weekend : a collage of words, music and sounds created by the artist Walter Ruttmann in 1928. [3] Later, in 1948, Pierre Schaeffer used turntables to create Railway study , remembered for being the first song of concrete music. [4]

The spread of the magnetic ribbon, which took place since the 1950s, pushed several musicians to create songs based on the “size and paste” of pre -existing records. The sound engineers soon discovered that the recorded ribbons could, in fact, be engraved and reunited according to a new order.

More recently, countless musicians adopted the sound assembly technique. A particularly influential example in this area was the album My Life in the Bush of Ghosts (1981) by Brian Eno and David Byrne, considered the precursor of numerous musical styles. [5] [6]
