Intelligent sound refers to the defenition of music by frenchborn American composer Edgar Varèse, who's composing was based on complex theoretical princples, which broke down the distinctions between noise and music, dissonance and consonance.
The ISE is always looking for new ways of making music of all kinds of musical tradition from all cultures and periods. The music can be completely improvised but also written out in traditional western notation, and also grafical scores or even projected animations or pictures can serve as structures for pieces..
Original music without fear of using material from composers from the past like J. Dowland, G.F. Telemann, J.P. Sweelink, W.A. Mozart, E. Varese or O. Messiaen, but also the sound of japanese shakuhishi flute, mongolian singing, african rythms, blues, extreme noise, ambient, nature, poems or philosofical thougths.
