Edgar Varese

Edgard Victor Achille Charles Varèse (December 22, 1883 – November 6, 1965) was an innovative French-borncomposer who spent the greater part of his career in the United States. Varèse's music features an emphasis ontimbre and rhythm. He was the inventor of the term "organized sound", a phrase meaning that certain timbres and rhythms can be grouped together, sublimating into a whole new definition of sound. His use of new instruments andelectronic resources led to his being known as the "Father of Electronic Music" while Henry Miller described him as "The stratospheric Colossus of Sound".
