精讀①：誰在寫電子音樂史
Margaret Schedel, "Electronic Music and the Studio"，收於 Nick Collins & Julio d'Escrivan (eds.), The Cambridge Companion to Electronic Music (2007, Cambridge University Press)
"Pierre Schaeffer is generally acknowledged as the first composer to create music with pre-recorded media: his sound collage Etude aux Chemins de Fer (1948) has a prominent place in most histories of electronic and computer music. These same histories tend to concentrate on the studios of Europe and North America, and indeed most electronic music studios are concentrated in these two continents. Yet this is most likely due to reporting bias, for the most dominant nations tend to control history."
PSW 譯：「Pierre Schaeffer 一般被公認是第一位用預錄媒材創作音樂的作曲家：他的聲音拼貼《鐵道練習曲》（1948）在多數電子與電腦音樂史裡都佔有重要位置。但這些史書都集中在歐洲與北美的錄音室，事實上多數電子音樂錄音室也確實集中在這兩塊大陸。這很可能是報導偏誤造成的：最強勢的國家，往往掌控了歷史的書寫權。」
樂器史和音樂史一樣：不是「哪裡真的發生了創新」，是「哪裡的創新被記下來」。
