George Antheil Books

An avant-garde composer, pianist, author, and inventor, Antheil's modernist compositions explored the early twentieth century's musical, industrial, and mechanical sounds. While his style became more tonal and focused on film and television work upon his return to the US, Antheil was a constantly reinventing figure. His diverse interests included writing articles that presaged events like World War II, an autobiography, and a mystery novel. He is also recognized as a co-inventor of a torpedo guidance system employing frequency-hopping technology, foundational to modern telecommunications.
