Edgard Varèse

Born in Burgundy on 22 December 1883, Edgard Varèse studied in Italy, France, and Germany before moving to the USA in 1915. From his earlier Romantic style as a composer he became an energetic innovator, later turning to electronics with his ceaseless quest for new sounds to match his new ideas. He died in New York on 6 November 1965.
