This reminds me of a text by the late Frank Zappa:

"In my compositions, I employ a system of weights, balances, measured tensions and releases - in some ways similar to Varèse's aesthetic. The similarities are best illustrated by comparison to a Calder mobile: [...] and the 'balance point' to facilitate the danglement." (The Real Frank Zappa Book, pp. 162-163)"
