He is best known for writing music based around only one pitch, altered in all manners through microtonal oscillations, harmonic allusions, and changes in timbre and dynamics, as paradigmatically exemplified in his revolutionary Quattro Pezzi su una nota sola (1959).

The impact caused by the late discovery of his works was described by Belgian musicologist Harry Halbreich saying:

Is a South African writer and ex-journalist (at Die Burger) who is known for his Intelligent Design-opinions, especially present in his book, Die Groot Gedagte, which was his biggest success.He authored a book, Die Groot Gedagte, about how the cosmos had come into existence. The cover of the book features a photo of M16 (also known as the Eagle Nebula). The book is mainly about how God had planned the universe and how it is unrealistic to assume that the universe had come into existence by mere chance. Unlike other Christian non-fiction works about cosmology and cosmogony, Die Groot Gedagte does not do away with the Big Bang theory, but rather suggests that the Big Bang was the result of a greater Intelligence which had planned how the universe would turn out. The book has received widespread positive responses, although some have criticized the book because for its mixture of Intelligent Design theory and Evolution theory.
