A blast from the electronic past:
The program in the Phillips pavilion during the World’s Fair consisted of Edgard Varèse’ Poème Electronique played through 400 loudspeakers, projected images and colored lights created by Le Corbusier, and Iannis Xenakis’ Concrète PH played as an interlude between shows.
As Varèse later described it, the sound followed paths through the loudspeaker arrays, and groups of speakers were used to create effects such as reverberation. He said, “I heard my music literally projected into space.”
