Listening (Varese, Ionisation (1931)

This piece is the definition of random work of musical art. I felt like I was in a dark alley way because of the recording and the way that the music was performed. While there was some sort of rhythmic driving sense, I thought that most of the piece was random free style. The use of the siren was a cool addition, because its sound is usually associated with horror and danger. I thought that it was clever that the siren was placed at the beginning of the piece and at the end. It was very similar to a police or ambulance comes and goes.
