And if you enjoyed that Babbitt piece, you're gonna LOVE this! One of my favorite Ives pieces:
Charles Ives: 3 Quarter-Tone pieces (1924)
NOTE: The two grand pianos are tuned a quarter-tone apart...
Personal note: When I was in High School, I asked my brother to drive me to a record store in Manhattan so I could buy my own LP (I'd first heard this composition in a music class). When we got home and I played it for him, he looked at me funny and said "What the heck is WRONG with you?"... :-)

If what your link goes to is this guy’s music, then Chesty Puller would have beat your ears until they looked like cauliflower!

He was also a major figure in the development of electronic synthesized music.
He lived a long life and stayed active teaching until the end.
