Electronic Sonata for Souls Loved by Nature is a composed work, originally in fourteen movements—or events as they are denoted by the composer—written by jazz arranger George Russell in 1968, using new compositional techniques associated at the time with contemporary music.

[5] Musicologist and jazz critic Max Harrison writes, "it is no mere coincidence that one is reminded of Stockhausen's Telemusik of 1966".

[6] The tape had been recorded at EMS (Elektronmusikstudion) in Stockholm and consisted of a collage of sound fragments obtained from various types of music and from various places in the world.

The work was commissioned by Sveriges Radio[4] and first performed with a sextet in a concert at the Henie Onstad Kunstsenter, outside Oslo, on April 28, 1969.

In 1980 George Russell rerecorded the sextet version with Jean-François Jenny-Clark, Victor Comer, Keith Copeland, Robert Moore and Lew Soloff.
