This is a great piece, some of these works from the 50s are amazing.

And his brother, who was my Grandpa in Los Angeles was Leonoid Ussachevsky, Later Leon Stewart. He was a conductor with the Russian Ballaika Orchestra in L.A. and he would yell at Volva, WHAT The Hell are you composing??

This is my uncle, I remember him well growing up in Los Angeles. We called him Uncle Volva.
Peace Uncle.

@angrybeaverish I wasn't talking about when it was made, I was talking about how it made me feel. I think this piece is incredible, but it's horrifying as well. It goes deep.

@ThatsMsCalamariToYou Absolutely beautiful. Actually, the basis for this composition wasn't wireless radio signals. Ussachevsky's goal was to re-create the sounds of an early wireless broadcast of Wagner's Parsifal, which he did magnificently by combining the narrowly filtered music with a motivic counterpoint all the sound elements (interference, white noise, spark gaps, etc.) that would have been heard throughout a crude early broadcast.
