Long shot. Heard it on the radio (actually, it was Coldcut's Solid Steel session on Kiss 100 in the early 90's). It had a lot of very experimental granular, almost glitchy modulated sounds that would at times freak out in a kinda vocal way (making sounds like "yaahhEEE!!), constantly morphing. There was french poetry and spoken lines at key parts, and I think heavy impact sounds, like something metal was gradually being bombarded with more and more projectiles.

Either that or I've designed the perfect thread to guarantee zero replies

'early french granular' makes me think Pierre Schaeffer, or possibly Pierre Henry, but I dont know the composition itself, sorry.

Probably something from the Musique concrète movement...

Thanks for the pointers. Will check them out.

Something came to me. At one point there is speech saying "Lire.... Lire!" in a very intent kinda way.

Surely that'll help :>

Thanks. I was looking for something like this but couldn't find it. It's not 100% complete but it might help me track down a few obscure tunes

Looking for an ID for an early French granular composition
