    Hello RMCC,

    A friend of mine wrote this article which may be of interest:

    PIERRE BOULEZ
    Convulsive beauty in electroacoustic music, by Daniel Barbiero
    "What better place to begin than by acknowledging the irony?: Surrealism, the movement that was generally hostile to music, helped inspire one of the twentieth century's major works of electroacoustic music. While Boulez's composition is not a Surrealist
    work per se, it nevertheless does capture the essence of Andre Breton's phrase and translates the idea behind it into specifically musical terms."
