"We liked Webern very much. For the nature of his poetry and not for his theory. I'm like Pierre in War and Peace, an illegitimate child. Cage and I, we are the illegitimate sons of Webern. [...] Webern first had a conception, then he chose the sounds. Xenakis also first has a conception. Varèse no. Then me, I'm the legitimate son of Varèse and Xenakis is illegitimate... Varèse first possessed the sound. Me too. And poetry. In fact, I have no need for "ideas" (in that I differ from Cage; he agrees on our differences)." Morton Feldman, on Waiting, by Martine Cadieu. Translated by Chris Villars, corrected by Helene Mea.

Гениально, чёрт возьми. Многие вещи у него звучат словно бы это Throbbing Gristle или ещё какой нибудь олдскульный индастриал.

nothing to elaborate really. just my impression. being a fan of Xenakis' musical space, I had expected more going into the works of Varese, they barely did anything for me.

I'm nearly 2 years late to this, and I realise you haven't scrobbled anything in pretty much that time either, but Oophaa and Troorkh are some of my favourites. The bigger pieces, like Keqrops or Synaphai are pretty good too, but they've lost their charm after repeated listening unfortunately.

Ionisation is captivatingly bizarre...apparently it was what inspired Frank Zappa to write. Are most of his compositions that unsettlingly avant-garde? Only person comparable that comes to mind is Penderecki.

I like how concise his bio is: "He was born. He did some stuff. He died.". I feel like I need to listen to more of his music..... I can be a very gullible person at times

He took strangely long to click for me considering my tastes, but wow when it clicks it clicks.
