Edgard Varèse - Poème Électronique (1958). This is a later piece of his. Also check out his very early stuff. Varèse was especially influential to Stockhausen, and also to the following:

Milton Babbitt - Composition for Synthesizer (1961)

Luigi Nono - Non Consumiamo Marx (1969)

Alfred Schnittke - Steam (1969)
Ah yes, I love Varese's work. He's one of my favourite composers overall, tbh. I will check out the other recommendations, although I think I may have heard Babbitt before though I don't recognize him.

Also, thanks to rostasi for the informative PM, all great recommendations.
