While apparently making due obeisances to the contemporary requirement of a priori organization (the sequence of timbres and textures appeared well organized, i.e., sufficiently chaotic), Wilson actually indulged in the old-fashioned technique of wit.

Its basic works are uncomplicated. It sucks air through an intake and compresses it in a chamber into which fuel is sprayed and ignited by a spark plug (see diagram). The expanding gases drive one turbine wheel that spins the air compressor and then rush on to whirl another turbine that drives a shaft. Turbines in their simplest form have major disadvantages, but where these...
