Edgard Varèse

Edgard Victor Achille Charles Varèse (December 22, 1883 –  November 6, 1965) was an innovative French-born composer who spent the greater part of his career in the United States. The record label Varèse Sarabande Records is named after him.Varèse's music features an emphasis on timbre 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 and electronic resources led to his being known as the "Father of Electronic Music" while Henry Miller described him as "The stratospheric Colossus of Sound". He is also known for having re-introduced the 'Idee-fixe', a term first introduced by the French composer Hector Berlioz.
