Poeme Electronique (1958)
Produced for the Philips Radio Corporation pavilion at
the Brussels Exposition.
Played through 450 speakers. It was 480 seconds long.
Projected images such as photographs, paintings,
montages, printed and written scripts accompanied the
music , a true multi-media event.
Varese rejected the term music concrete as a
description of the work. it was a montage of both
found sounds and synthetic creation. It was referred
to as 'Organized Sound'.
This is the 5th Symphony of electronic music. The
defining work that caught the attention of the world
and propelled future composers to take electronic
music as a bona-fide form of music.
