Ian, Yes, I would use harmony to mean any sounds, pitched or unpitched, sounding simultaneously. So it has no necessary functional meaning the way I would use it. Harmony as it's usually used posits relationships that have structural significance, no? I don't see that having much relevance to contemporary practice.
increpatio, 1947 because by then the tape recorder had been perfected and Schaeffer's first "tape" pieces were done with it. That date ignores things like the 1930 turntable concert put on in Berlin by Hindemith and Krenek(?) and Cage's subsequent uses of turntables in pieces like Credo in US and of radios in Imaginary Landscape no. 1. So 1947 is probably too late. (I'm more and more unsatisfied by that date the more I think about it.)
