Sound mass

Under sound composition is understood in the restricted sense of compositional design of the structure of sounds and Tongemischen by electronic means. In a broader sense, this refers also various forms of sound composition of surfaces that work with conventional instruments. As a well-known representative of the sound composition Karlheinz Stockhausen, György Ligeti, Krzysztof Penderecki and Friedrich Cerha apply.

Sound compositions were initially closely related to serial music, of which she later broke but also aleatoric or postseriell.
