Experimental French composer Pierre Henry, one of the pioneers of musique concrete, is the subject of this documentary that traces his development of a new sound that shocked the music world. During the 1950s, the radical innovator and his colleague Pierre Schaeffer created a unique form of music based on electronically modified environmental noises. Special features include a concert recorded in Paris and the short film "Le Candidat."
