frmusic1-8, Exercise 2: The state's role

Model answer:

The state paid for the research. Schaeffer worked at French national radio, and his studio grew into the Groupe de Recherches Musicales. Later Boulez led the creation of IRCAM in Paris, attached to the Centre Pompidou, which brought composers together with scientists and engineers. Public funding made it possible to experiment with technology before there was a commercial market for it.
