Varèse, Edgard

World Encyclopedia | 2005 | Copyright

Varèse, Edgard (1885–1965) French composer, a leading advocate of 20th-century experimental music. Varèse experimented with new rhythms and timbres and dissonant harmonies in works such as Hyperprism (1923) for wind instruments and percussion, and Déserts (1954) for tape-recorded sound. He concentrated on electronic music after the early 1950s.
