1923- . Hungarian-born Austrian composer who
developed a dense, highly chromatic,
polyphonic style in which melody and rhythm
are sometimes lost in shifting blocks of
sound. He achieved international prominence
with Atmospheres 1961 and Requiem 1965, which
were used for Kubrick's film epic 2001: A
Space Odyssey. Other works include an opera
Le Grand Macabre 1978, and Poeme symphonique
1962, for 100 metronomes.
