Wow, I did not realize Atmospheres was not microtonal. What an accomplishment then.

...suppose wth some pieces by Ligeti I kind of dismiss without really thinking why, like the piece for 100 metronomes, Volumina (sp) and those later Hungarin chorale studies, the name of which I forget. You've got me thinking now...Nick

Volumina does things to an organ that you wouldn't want your mother-in-law to hear but is enormous fun - at least I think so. Oddly it seems to me that pre Horn Trio Ligeti was vital and full of the excitement of youth but post Horn Trio he's become too full of his own importance and concerned with his comercial success and consequently lost that vitality and relevance. But don't quote me on that.
Just a quick formal (german [[;)]] ) correction: the famous "Poème electronic" is by Edgar Varèse. The Ligeti piece is called "Poème symphonique for 100 metronomes".

Thanks for the specifics about some kagel pieces -- will try to find them, somehow, live or recorded ?or videotaped if that's necessary?

Poeme Electronique by Varese is a fascinating work. It would have been fantastic to hear it in its original presentation on 400 speakers in a huge pavilion at the Brussels World's Fair.
Also - it is MICROTONAL! HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!
