Pierre Schaeffer, Etude aux chemins fers (2:54)
Schaeffer is considered the originator of musique concrète – a form of musical composition in which sounds of natural origin – animate and inanimate– are recorded, manipulated and combined. This piece was created in 1948 out of recorded sounds of trains.
The UBU.com site is a great compendium of experimental audio works, including work by artists.
