Atonal Composers Gather For Atony Awards
HOLLYWOOD, CA- The recording industry's top atonal composers gathered
in Los Angeles Monday for the gala seventh annual Atony Awards.
"Tonight is hostile music's biggest night," said Krzysztof Penderecki,
nominee in the Most Dissonant Piece category. "I can't tell you what
a thrill it is to be here, surrounded by so many legends of arrhythmic
cacophony." The highlight of the evening is expected to be the awarding
of the Olivier Messiaen Lifetime Achievement Award to Karlheinz
Stockhausen for "more than five decades of aggressively impenetrable
anti-music."
