I found out about this composer because Frank Zappa,one of my inspirations in music,loved his work and Ionisation,a piece by Edgar Varese, was the first record he bought and listened to on his mum's old gramophone.

Very abstract but very interesting.

If you love your music,this is a must have.
As Molly would say "do yourself a favor" although I'm not sure this would be his bag.

I went and checked some out on youtube. Pretty ****en average, it sounds like a 70's japanese avant garde stoner group. Of the tubes i listened to, Integrales was alright but probably because it was the most normal. Some of this music sounds like James Horner scores, maybe Horner is a fan

Sounds way more powerful with a set of high quality headphones.


Firs ttime Iheard it was with my Beyers.

Played it through the Dynaudios and wasn't as dynamic.

I posted some of his youtubes in the electronica music thread because his name is associated as the inspiration for electronic music . Pretty sure frank Zappa loved his music too.

yeah, I've thought about checking him out via the Zappa connection, but haven't really been motivated enough yet..I'll hit the youtubes first
