RENAISSANCE OR CO-OPTATION?
The laborious exactitude of the notation in Atmosphères, and the sheer immensity of the score thus produced, were among its most impressive features. They gave the work the same heroic aura of devoted drudgery—of sacrifice in the name of art—that the tedious “classical” techniques of the tape studio enjoyed. A more direct and radical approach to the project of recreating the sound world of electronic music in live performance was adopted by a group of Polish composers who came to prominence during the “thaw” decade that followed the death of Stalin in the countries of what by then was known as the Soviet Bloc.
