Design patterns are inspired by Christopher Alexander's idea of a pattern language that could be developed for designing buildings and cities.

In 1948, Pierre Schaeffer, a broadcast engineer for Radiodiffusion-Television Francaise took the noises of trains and banging saucepans and, after hours of editing the tapes with a razor blade, constructed two pieces of music: Etude aux Chemins de Fer and Etudes aux Cassaroles. After these sound collages were broadcast on the radio, Schaeffer would term them "musique concrete."
This is our goal for the AUDC Wiki.
