Composed in 1967 at the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Centre, the piece was a tribute to the "father of electronic music," Edgard Varèse, who had passed away two years earlier. It is a foundational example of tape music, where every sound was meticulously shaped and sequenced by the composer using analogue magnetic tape.

Mario Davidovsky (1934–2019) was a Pulitzer Prize-winning Argentine-American composer and a seminal figure in the development of electroacoustic music. He is most famous for his innovative series titled Synchronisms, which fundamentally changed how electronic sounds and live instruments interact.
