most contemporary "composers" do nowadays.
Naming a work of music "the most beautiful
ugly sound in the world" is great marketing!

I like Finnissy's music by and large. If one finds it uniquely off-putting. one needs to get out more. There's a lot of much "uglier" stuff around these days.

dkTo be accurate, Dan, "5: 4 It's the most beautiful ugly sound in the world." is the name of the YouTube channel, not the name of the piece. The piece by Finnessy is called "n". The other works in the channel can be found here:

By putting quotes around "uglier" I mean to imply that I probably wouldn't find ugly much that you would; rather that while I would find much of it to be relatively fragmented and abrasive sonically (and thus ugly to some/many) I also would find muchI like Finnissy's music by and large.

I like Varèse, but onlyin Chailly's version with the RCO.I think Varese has a lot to offer...imo the Poeme Electronique is a masterpiece.
Chailly gives the impression that all the notes somehow belong together and express more than themselves.
That impression is reinforced when you watch Chailly conduct.

Finissey's a mixed bag, some solid results but doesn't always impress.
