Another interesting work by Varese- Poeme Electronique- modified taped and electronic effects created for a World's Fair exhibit I believe. Perhaps a clue to Zappa's fascination with taped tidbits punctuating his comedy music. My original exposure to Varese (via Zappa referral) was on vinyl- Robert Craft conducting. BTW, there are two versions of Density 21.5- 21.5 pertaining to the density of platinum. Varese composed the piece for the inaugural presentation of the platinum flute. There is a detailed analysis of the composition found on Wikipedia- look it up as Density 21.5. --- In Zappa-List@yahoogroups.com, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Actually my copy of Ionisation includes Octandre and Density (I seem to recall it listed as "Densities" but could be mistaken).
