My Window To The World…

Let us expand the horizon a little.

Let us go classical.

No, none of the boring, fit-to-be-played-in-the-background stuff… but something that was a huge influence on Mister Frank Zappa - and countless other musicians/composers: Monsieur Edgard Varèse. A composer, most people would say, but he preferred to call himself an “organizer of sounds”.

His orchestral pieces are mind-blowing, a true experience, whether on CD, or live. Though live it is one of the best sonic experiences ever.

My first exposure to Varèse was “Ionisation” - today’s choice.
