Harmonie Universelle is not a contemporary electronic music group but rather a seminal work in the history of music theory and acoustics by Marin Mersenne, published in 1636. This groundbreaking text, hailing from Paris, France, encapsulates the entirety of musical knowledge available during Mersenne's time. Although not directly linked to electronic or dance music, "Harmonie Universelle" has indirectly influenced the genre through its foundational contributions to the understanding of sound, harmony, and the physics of music. Its exploration of the mathematical principles of music laid the groundwork for future developments in musical instrumentation and technology, elements that are integral to the production of electronic music today.
