Electronic Music Innovations

The artist that I chose to do for this blog entry was Edgard Varese, a french composer and also known as the father of electronic music.  His music is described as "organized sound", having to do with his rhythms and timbre.  Someone that Edgar Varese had influence on was Frank Zappata, who just went crazy over his music after listening to one of Edgard' albums.  What I like about this is the classical vocals on the tracks and this very strange reverse vocals that make his tracks sound weird and electronic.  As a listener, I do not really like his style of music because it sounds kind of strange, but at the same time, it was something that helped make way for the electronic music and dance music that we have today, it was that creativity and experimenting that made the music what it was.
