Once upon a time,
a long long time ago,
deep in the mind of a man called Pierre,
there was an idea burning,
to make a music of reality,
the sounds of the everyday,
He began the exploration,
giving it the name Musique Concrète,
wandering through the towns and cities,
sounds impressed themselves on Pierre's mind,
a library grew of interconnections,
great theories flew like swallows.
While listening to a rather nice steam engine,
memories and images flood,
almost to tears,
he see's a man watching the motions of the train,
down to it's finest rhythms.
He goes up to him to ask of his journey,
the man says he loves percussion,
and says his name is Pierre,
both smile at this serendipity,
and walk off into the future.
