Title: From Harmony to Chaos. Le Corbusier, Varèse, Xenakis and Le poème électronique. [English edition]
Description: Uitgeverij Duizend en Een, 2017. 26.5 x 21 cm. 262 pp. Hardcover. Profusely illustrated in b/w and colour. - [...] This book however is not about that performance. From the start Philips had its own idea for a spectacle with colour, light and sound, which was incompatible with the plans of the 'bunch of artists' that it had set out with. It was only at a very late stage in the realization that the company disabused them of the belief that their plans would be implemented. In the end Le Corbusier's visual show and Xenakis's musical contribution were wrecked: it was Philips's version of Le poème électronique that was shown at the 1958 World's Fair. - Fine/as new copy
