Overview

Edgard Varèse was a French and American avant-garde composer who spent most of his career in the United States, emphasizing timbre and rhythm in his music. He coined the term 'organized sound' and envisioned music as 'sound as living matter' and 'musical space as open rather than bounded'. Despite his complete works lasting only about three hours, Varèse has been recognized as an influence by several major composers of the late 20th century, including [[john-cage|John Cage]] and [[pierre-boulez|Pierre Boulez]].
