Показать описание
Edgard Victor Achille Charles Varèse (December 22th 1883 – November 6th 1965) He was a French-born composer who spent the greater part of his career in the United States.

Varèse's music emphasizes timbre and rhythm and he coined the term "organized sound" in reference to his own musical aesthetic. Varèse's conception of music reflected his vision of "sound as living matter" and of "musical space as open rather than bounded". He conceived the elements of his music in terms of "sound-masses", likening their organization to the natural phenomenon of crystalization. Varèse thought that "to stubbornly conditioned ears, anything new in music has always been called noise", and he posed the question, "what is music but organized noises?"

Although his complete surviving works only last about three hours, he has been recognised as an influence by several major composers of the late 20th century. Varèse saw potential in using electronic mediums for sound production, and his use of new instruments and electronic resources led to his being known as the "Father of Electronic Music" while Henry Miller described him as "The stratospheric Colossus of Sound".

this is awesome, I found out about this by reading Frank Zappa's bio. I'm very thankful that I'm a Drummer.

It would seem to me that Syd or other members of Pink Floyd would be inspired by this; also Rush or even Tool.

Very cool. Ecclectic.
Everyone listening here to this might also enjoy the piece called TONE FLOAT by Organisation
(...before they turned into Kraftwerk.)

If you want to be a serious composer and you don't have eyebrows like that you have to send away for them in the mail.

BEM MUSICALMENTE É HORRÍVEL, MAS ZAPPA ADORAVA, E CÁ PRA NÓS A CRIATURA SE SAIU MUITO MELHOR QUE O CRIADOR.
