In On the Threshold of Beauty Kees Tazelaar meticulously reconstructs the
birth and evolution of electronic music in the Netherlands from 1925 till
1965. It is the compelling story of the development of electronic music at
the Philips research laboratory, the collaboration between Xenakis, Le
Corbusier and Varèse on the now legendary Philips Pavilion at the 1958
World Expo, and the first studios for electronic music in the Netherlands
with key figures like Dick Raaymakers and Gottfried Michael Koenig. The
book is lavishly illustrated. Finally available at the end of this month.
