Abstract
In this chapter, revisiting the innovative approach to musical research undertaken by the French pioneer of musique concrete, Pierre Schaeffer (1910-95), I show how Schaeffer's humanistic modernism can be understood in the light of the post-structural critique offered in the works by Deleuze that were published in the years following Schaeffer's magnum opus, the Traite des objects musicaux (Treatise on Musical Objects, hereafter Treatise). With the first English translations of Schaeffer's works only now becoming available, we have an opportunity to reassess his contribution.
