In this article, the author argues that Pierre Schaeffer's theories demonstrate that instrumental thought, albeit modified and elaborated, is still apparent in many electroacoustic languages. An imagined instrument can be present during composition and in subsequent performances of the work. In addressing this issue the author explores three Schaefferian concepts concerning timbre, genre and harmonic timbre.
