Spectralism w/ Robert Guthrie

Spectral composition techniques emerged around IRCAM in the 70s. This mix looks not only at the French school, but at precursors to the aesthetic developments made by Grisey and Murail, as well as the dramatic parallel movement in Romania and the style’s wider impact on avant-garde music.
