Edgard Varèse - Ionisation

[@rainerKafka]

Zappa mentioned this piece on "The Real Frank Zappa Book". That's why I am here!

[@LMB222]

Now check Penderecki and Lutosławski.

[@jasonlambert5552]

Varese said he wanted to compose a score to the cats fighting in the alley behind is house, and now here we have this.

[@허민-y4f]

바레즈- 이온화 : 13명의 연주자와 35개의 다양한 타악기 , 전통적 관현악번으로 부터 해방, 리듬셍의 확장과 변화를 통해 곡이 구성되고 있으며, 다양한 음색의 타악기와 사이렌과 사자 울음소리등의 비음악적 소리를 포함

[@simonkawasaki4229]

Really amazing. So much is in this work!!!

[@komitaskomitaskomitas]

You can tell that frank zappa studied this score and composed using (copied) some of these same techniques and orchestrations. The texture at 4:32 is used in Frank Zappa's "Black Page." The link below is a link to "Black Page" by Zappa plays Zappa which is Zappa's son's group that only plays Zappa compositions.

[@cindytartt4048]

Yes, this piece encouraged his dive into music. Good choice.

[@verslaflamme8185]

A classical masterpiece.

You misspelled "piece of shit"

[@klangschatten5610]

Terrific composition.

[@Juan-wo7zu]

One of frank zappas personal favourites. Rightly so

[@vincem3748]

Sorry to disappoint, but Varèse brought me here, not Frank Zappa Shmappa whatever

[@KahurangiSteez]

Sorry to disappoint, but Frank Zappa is a bigger contributor to music direction that Varese ever was. Zappa was an extremely prodigious composer in his own right

[@vincem3748]

@@KahurangiSteez agree with your second sentence, disagree with the first

[@codascheuer8426]

@@KahurangiSteez Why do you have to lift up Zappa by putting down Varese? Zappa admired Varese very much. They both had big contributions to music. Ionisation was the first piece to be written for percussion ensemble! The entire percussion repertoire has Varese to thank

[@pluspenguin]

Sounds like COD World at War ambiance

[@markb5906]

Say what you will, this was one of the first to be an "out there" composition and performance, yet also be mentioned in "the media".

[@siempremusical]

A XXth century classic.

[@tarnopol]

Another cookie-cutter pop song from Varèse.

Cut n paste cut n paste- 100 years ahead of his time.

[@karenpalmer5995]

Pretty cool that he and Hedy Lamar got together and figured out how to bypass jamming signals in the first World War!

That was George Antheil, another 20th-century master innovator. And it was WWII. 🙂

then why'd you listen to it in the first place? Homework? I can understand that but why leave a comment like this? Are you that frustrated they forced you to listen to Varese?
