Electronic music is to acoustical music what chemistry is to cooking. It is acoustical music that nourishes the soul.
Bernard and Francois Baschet
Acoustical Music
"Since 1952 our aim has been to achieve a synthesis between sculpture and sound without electronics. Why without electronics? We think there is more sincerity, more poetry in natural sounds - nowadays they call them acoustic sounds. All natural sounds are connected to some unconscious memory such as bells, bird whistles, or echos among the mountains.
Electronic music is to acoustical music what chemistry is to cooking. It is acoustical music that nourishes the soul."
from: A Noise in Your Eye!, An International Exhibition of Sound Sculpture, catalogue published by Arnolfini Gallery, Bristol 1985
