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 crystallization. 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 media 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".
Varèse actively promoted performances of works by other 20th-century composers and founded the International Composers’ Guild in 1921 and the Pan-American Association of Composers in 1926.

the fact that this was done in the 50s honestly impresses me to the max (the tape parts)

The importance of electronic media music from the 1950s must be understood as experiments in timbre; our modern audiences have alienated the genre due to our focus on harmony and melody.

Thank you Precipotato. Those who are critical above, please check what author Henry Miller says in his novel "Airconditioned Nightmare" about Varese's "desert music". Of course, he is both enthusiastic and rebeller, but he also states clearly why this is totally different kind of music.
Jouko Pajula
My text above points to an entire chapter in that book, entitled "With Edgar Varese in Gobi Desert".
Didier Schein
Thank you for the score.

So if someone performs this piece, is it the same recording used for the interpolation or do you have to recreate your own?
