This Element hopes to draw attention to the ideas of communication and flight in western tradition. It explores Varèse and his 'noble noise', the arrival and influence of Information Theory, examples of early computer music, and ends with a defence of the sublime logic of Stockhausen's singing helicopters and tornados.
