What was Varèse's view on "sound"?

  • Sound as living matter

  • Sound as static element

  • Sound as fleeting memory

  • Sound as physical sensation

Answer

**Sound as living matter**. Varèse believed that sound should be treated as a living, evolving entity, rather than as a fixed object. He argued that music should not be limited to traditional structures and forms, but should instead be free to explore the full potential of sound, including its spatial qualities and its ability to evoke emotions and create atmospheres.
