Answer
**Music, as perceived by Edgard Varèse, is an art form constructed from various organized noises.** Rejecting traditional notions of melody and harmony, Varèse sought to compose using sounds and noises from everyday life, industrial environments, and even natural sources. He believed that these sounds, when carefully organized and structured, could create a profound emotional and sensory experience for the listener, breaking free from the limitations of conventional musical aesthetics.
