Scelsi sounds symphonic, single note is played by multiple instruments, varying in dynamics.
Feldman sounds more dissonant, chamber long non-changing chords. (Feldman, Scelsi) |

Yet Scelsi works mainly for orchestra and Riley uses synths, tape loops, indian music and non-orchestra instruments. (Scelsi, Riley) |
