The ''Studio d'Essai'', later ''Club d'Essai'', was founded in 1942 by Pierre Schaeffer, played a role in the activities of the French resistance during World War II, and later became a center of musical activity. In 1942 the French composer and theoretician Pierre Schaeffer, began his exploration of radiophony when he joined Jacques Copeau and his pupils in the foundation of the Studio d'Essai de la Radiodiffusion Nationale. The studio originally functioned as a center for the Resistance movement in French radio, which in August 1944 was responsible for the first broadcasts in liberated Paris. It was here that Schaeffer began to experiment with creative radiophonic techniques using the sound technologies of the time (Palombini 1993, 14). It was from ''d'Essai'' that Schaeffer successfully recorded his first work, which itself appeared on ''Dix ans d'essais radiophoniques du studio au Club d'Essai: 1942–1952'', a compilation of his personal ''concrète'', along with many other artists' experimental pieces, released later in his life (Schaeffer 1962). The compilation has since become valued as a notable publication of the experimental music genre. Following Schaeffer's work with Studio d'Essai at Radiodiffusion Nationale during the early 1940s he was credited with originating the theory and practice of ''musique concrète.'' The Studio d'Essai was renamed Club d 'Essai de la Radiodiffusion-Télévision Française (Anon. n.d.) in 1946 and in the same year Schaeffer discussed, in writing, the question surrounding the transformation of time perceived through recording. The essay evidenced knowledge of sound manipulation techniques he would further exploit compositionally. In 1948 Schaeffer formally initiated “research in to noises” at the Club d'Essai (Palombini 1993, 14) and on 5 October 1948 the results of his initial experimentation were premiered at a concert given in Paris (Chion 1983). Five works for phonograph (known collectively as ''Cinq études de bruits''—Five Studies of Noises) including ''Etude violette'' (''Study in Purple'') and ''Etude aux chemins de fer'' (Study of the Railroads), were presented. ==Sources== * Chion, Michel.
