    Electronic music utilizes electronic devices like synthesizers, amplifiers, tape recorders, and loudspeakers to create novel sounds that were pioneered by 20th century composers like Varese, Stockhausen, and Berio. Musique concrete involves recording everyday environmental sounds and manipulating them on tape. Varese and Stockhausen were influential early figures in electronic music. Varese coined the term "organized sound" and composed works featuring new timbres and rhythms. Stockhausen experimented extensively with electronic music, musique concrete, and moving sound through different spaces. Both composers greatly expanded the possibilities of musical sound.

    ELECTRON

    IC MUSIC

    The capacity of electronic


    machines such as synthesizers,
    amplifiers, tape recorders, and
    loudspeaakers to create different
    sounds was given importance by
    20th century composers like
    Edgar Varese, Karlheinz
    Stockhausen, and Mario

    Music that uses the tape recorder is


    called musique concrete, or
    concrete music. The composer
    records different sounds that are
    heard in the environment such as
    the bustle of traffic, the sound of the
    wind, the barking of dogs, the
    strumming of a guitar, or the cry of

    These sounds are arranged by the


    composer in different ways like by
    playing the tape recorder in its
    fastest mode or in reverse. In
    musique concrete, the composer is
    able to experiment with different
    sounds that cannot be produced by
    regular musical instruments such as
    the piano or the violin.

    EDGARD
    VARESE
    (1883
    1965)

    Edgard (also spelled Edgar)


    Varse was born on December 22,
    1883. He was considered an
    innovative French-born composer.
    However, he spent the greater part
    of his life and career in the United
    States, where he pioneered and
    created
    new sounds that bordered =

    The musical compositions of Varese


    are characterized by an emphasis
    on timbre and rhythm. He invented
    the term organized sound, which
    means that certain timbres and
    rhythms can be grouped together in
    order to capture a whole
    newdefinition of sound

    Although his complete


    survivingworks are scarce,
    he has been recognized to
    have influenced several
    major composers of the
    th
    late 20 century.

    POME LECTRONIQUE

    Varese use of new instruments and


    electronic resource made him the
    Father of Electronic Music and he
    was described as the Stratospheric
    Colossus of Sound. His musical
    compositions total around 50, with his
    advances in tape-base proving
    revolutionary during his time. He died
    on November 6, 1965.

    KARLHEINZ
    STOCKHAUSEN

    Karlheinz Stockhausen is a central


    figure in the realm of electronic
    music. Born in Cologne, Germany, he
    had the opportunity to meet
    Messiaen, Schoenberg, and Webern,
    theprincipal innovators at the time.
    Together with Pierre Boulez,
    Stockhausen drew inspiration
    fromthese composers as he

    Stockhausens music was


    initially met with resistance due
    to its heavily atonal content with
    practically no clear melodic or
    rhythmic sense. Still, he
    continued to experiment with
    musique concrete.

    Some of his works include


    Gruppen (1957), a piece
    for three orchestras that moved
    music through time and space;
    Kontakte (1960), a work
    that pushed the tape machine to
    its limits;

    and the epic Hymnen (1965), an


    ambitious
    two-hour work of 40 juxtaposed
    songs and anthems from around
    the world.

    The climax of his compositional


    ambition came in 1977 when he
    announced the creation of Licht
    (Light), a seven-part opera (one for
    each day of theweek) for a gigantic
    ensemble of solo voices, solo
    instruments, solo dancers, choirs,
    orchestras, mimes, and

    His recent Helicopter String


    Quartet, in which a string quartet
    performs whilst airborne
    in four different helicopters,
    develops his long-standing
    fascination with music which
    moves in space.

    It has led him to dream of concert


    halls in which the sound attacks
    the listener from every direction.
    Stockhausens works total around
    31. He presently resides
    in Germany.
