Poème électronique (English Translation: "Electronic Poem") is a piece of electronic music by composer Edgard Varèse. Varèse composed the piece with the intention of creating a liberation between sounds and as a result uses noises not usually considered "musical" throughout the piece. It was written for the Philips Pavilion at the 1958 Brussels World’s Fair.Poème électronique is the first, electronic-spatial environment to combine architecture, film, light and music to a total experience made to functions in time and space. Under the direction of Le Corbusier, Iannis Xenakis' concept and geometry designed the World's Fair exhibition space adhering to mathematical functions. Edgard Varèse composed both concrete and vocal music which enhanced dynamic, light and image projections conceived by Le Corbusier.
In 1959 Bernard Parmegiani joins the GRM (Le Groupe de Recherches Musicales) where, under the direction of Pierre Schaeffer, he undertakes a two year course in electroacoustic music. In 1962, he composes his first piece, Violostries, which becomes the subject of a choreography by the Contemporary Theatre of Amiens directed by Jacques-Albert Cartier. Pierre Schaeffer entrusts to him the responsibility for the Music-Image sector of GRM. He enters into many successful relationships with film-makers and composes the music for films by R. Lapoujade, P. Foldmès, P. Kamler, V Borowczyck, P. Kast, J Baratier, P. Kassovitz. Within the framework of a fixed time, measured and imposed by the duration of the image, the contents of which he is not the author of, he still finds much musical freedom.

Kontakt der Jünglinge is the collaboration between German sound artists Asmus Tietchens and Thomas Köner. It joins two generations of artists dedicated to uncompromisingly inventive electronic sound: Asmus Tietchens has been active since four decades, and his electroacoustic compositions have been awarded two times with the prestigious Karl-Sczuka-Preis in Donaueschingen. Kontakt der Jünglinge is named as a tribute to works by Karlheinz Stockhausen: Gesange der Jünglinge, as one of the touchstones in the history of electronic music and Kontakte, as a paradigmatic example of music that broadens the new perspectives of sound.
Thomas Köner attended the music college in Dortmund and studied electronic music at the CEM-Studio in Arnhem. Until 1994 he worked for the film industry as editor and sound engineer. He extended his concept of time and sound colour to images, resulting in video installations, photography and net art. 
Asmus Tietchens is a composer from Hamburg Germany and has been creating music since 1965 when he began manipulating tape-machines. In 1971 he bought a synthesizer, began exploring its possibilities, and has never looked back. In the 70’s he became involved with Sky Records, appearing for example on the album titled, “Cluster & Eno”, but it was not until the 80’s that Tietchens’ own music was released, of which several early Lp’s appeared on Sky. 
For Rik Rue, environmental sounds have always provided abstract and subconscious pleasure and an inner understanding of the physical. Since the early 1980's, he has been involved in composing with environmental and found sounds.
