"Hyperprism" (Varèse, 1923)


Music had restricted rules, a structure. But Varèse could hear all the sounds of the world.
"Hyperprism" wasn't accepted as music then, but it was his first score to be published (see NewMusicXX notes on youtube, with very interesting information).


If for some odd reason you'd find yourselves in a time machine that suddenly stopped in a very ancient civilization, woudn't it be possible that these were the sounds that would shake you?
