Talk:Cristal Baschet

What does this sentence mean?
"The Baschet brothers' aim was to get closer to the new tones born in the early 1950s." --Filll 02:29, 5 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I believe it means electronic music. Hyacinth (talk) 07:31, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

Too much promotion of Thomas Bloch?
There is no good reason for there to be an external link in the description of the photo of Thomas Bloch with a cristal baschet. The fact that it leads one to Thomas Bloch's personal website is even worse; it reeks of unnecessary and impartial promotion of Mr. Bloch. The fact that almost all of the additional links at the bottom of the page also link to various pages prominently featuring Mr. Bloch only further encourages one to suspect unscrupulous activity. There are more links to Mr. Bloch on this page than there are the creators of the instrument itself... In addition, there are several other musicians who play the instrument (e.g. Dean Shostak). I think we should strongly consider trimming down the excessive number of Thomas Bloch related links and try to add information and links regarding more information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.160.112.229 (talk) 17:19, 25 September 2009

Cristal baschet or Cristal Baschet?
Cristal baschet or Cristal Baschet? If we use both we should at least add a hidden note explaining why. Hyacinth (talk) 07:32, 16 November 2019 (UTC)


 * It's a French term, meaning "Bachet crystal", from their surname -- not a "bachet" made of crystal -- thus capital B is required. I am unable to move the page due to existing redirect at capital B form. Admins please fix! Equinox ◑ 00:35, 24 November 2019 (UTC)

Problems
There is absolutely no connection between the cristal baschet and music concrete other than that the originators of each happened to be French.

Musique concrete uses found sounds recorded on magnetic tape, then cut and spliced, or electronically processed, usually into a kind of unpitched, aleatoric "noise music" favored by people like John Cage.

The cristal baschet is a mechanical instrument, played directly by a performer, and specifically tuned to the chromatic scale so it can be (and usually is) used to produce more conventinoal tonal music.

Apples and oranges are closer together than these two musical concepts.

 * I've Removed the paragraph on musique concrète. The baschets were fans of this style, but nothing I've found suggests they used this instrument to create it.
