 | | Why Do People Love America?
Hating America while loving all things American is the twenty-first century paradox. Despite the hostility the country has borne since the Iraq war, the universal consumption of American popular culture continues unabated: we still call in at Starbucks for our 8am caffeine kick-start; we still grab a Big Mac ‘to go’ when there’s no time to stop for lunch; and we still crave the next special-effects-packed Hollywood blockbuster to hit the big screen. Sure, we like to criticise White House policies, but there’s no reason why that should hinder our enjoyment of everything else the US has to offer, is there?

Edgar Varese
One of the most influential, innovative and inspiring composers of the 20th Century, Edgard Varese responded to advances in modern science in a climate of global conflict to create music that broke down the fragile remnants of diatonic tonality and embraced 'noise'. His intellectual shift from the dominance of melodic progression to a more textural approach to composition would see him revered by such cultural figureheads as Igor Stravinsky, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Frank Zappa and others. His 'Poem Electronique' was one of the first examples of a purely artificial, studio-made composition, and would act as a blueprint for later Electroacoustic explorations. The work Ionisation for percussion ensemble included air-raid sirens and was described by the New York Times as a 'terrible and marvelous work'. The 1954 premier of Deserts caused an uproar comparable to the infamous response to The Rite Of Spring some fifty years earlier.
