Terry Riley
This composition synthesizes many of the techniques and ideas popular among experimental composers during the late 1960s. Riley incorporates Coltrane- inspired saxophone as well as the effects of time-lag accumulators and tape loops. These experiments had considerable impact on the world of popular music.

Dick Raaijmakers
In the early 1970s Dick Raaijmakers (1930–2013) developed three separate loudspeaker installations, Ideophone I, II and III. Ideophones are defined as words that evoke certain sensations, e.g., smell, colour, shape, sound, action, or movement. Raaijmakers’ Ideophones each possess a unique voice, but are self-destructive; the speakers activate themselves through feedback loops in order to ‘speak’.
