Avant-Garde
Though it was the questioning spirit of the 1960s that gave full free rein to the avant-garde philosophical imagination, the roots of the movement extend back to the World War I era. The sonic experiments of the Italian futurists inspired a host of efforts to create new instruments and generally to bring new sounds to the musical arena. The 1920s all-percussion works of the Franco-American composer Edgard Var?®se still sound well ahead of their time, and new 1920s instruments such as the theremin, the vocal-sounding contraption immortalized in the Beach Boys' "Good Vibrations," forecast an entire tradition of all-electronic compositions later in the century. The ultra-ambitious German composer Karlheinz Stockhausen was one of the earliest and most successful experimenters with electronic sound.
