Iannis Xenakis - Diamorphoses

[laughorgomad]

This scares my dog & makes me wanna hurl.Brilliant

[TheMadsstagis]

I can just sit back and enjoy this - it is fantastic and so inspirational. 

[RADIOKLOW]

Xenakis develops an art of exploring the inner substance of sound to reach and express its sprit in the poetry of music. This is the sign of the great artists.

[icslook]

Describing this as music produces expectations born of lifelong experience of more conventional genres. The expectations conflict with what Xenakis presents, generating negative comments that reflect more on the narrow unenlightened state of the commenter than on the quality of the work. I prefer to sidestep the encumbrances of associations and preconceptions by thinking of it as sound sculpture, and as such a different sort of art to explore and learn to appreciate.

@icslook man....this is like, one of the worst things I've read on Youtube in a long time.

[TarTard]

Sublime

[jing479]

[petezilla]

My cat seemed pretty interested. I felt like time was going backwards towards the end there

[Metatarsaire]

Si vous mettez que vous n'aimez pas, alors vous ne comprenez pas cette musique. Elle me dépasse d'ailleurs complètement... Mais je me doute qu'il y a quelque chose de plus que ce que mon oreille entend.

Remarquez que e ferais des cauchemars à l'écouter jusqu'au bout...

[Pagio994]

Elettronica in the '50s.

[OutlandsCommunity]

cathodeglitch, thank you for posting this wonderful work by Xenakis! It was wonderful to hear it again after all of these years!

[cathodeglitch]

@OutlandsCommunity My pleasure. I'm glad you enjoyed listening to the piece.

[mrgreen05]

AMAZING!

[MrChirpsky]

I think Such a musical genius as Xenakis deserves better than a flame war -perhaps a certain inability to get past the unusual nature of Xenakis' art brings forth unintended associations with violence and interpersonal conflict -but to my mind, given my years of listening to, and assimilating, this music -it is the music of the spheres -a pristine and exhilarating astral projection through worlds beyond imagining!

[twooffour]

@MrChirpsky

ANY TOPIC ON EARTH bringsforth "interpersonal conflict" - if it exists, there are flame wars about it. Quit being so dense, and become a little wider :p

[korrupt3r]

could have been soundtrack of one of Tarkovsky's films in fast forward ;)

[lorenzarthur91]

the works of xenakis and some of penderecki's early orks are probably the most violent ever written.

[ctimur]

That's how YOU name it =)

[marklackeydotnet]

@lorenzarthur91

Tolkien's orks can be awfully violent, too. ;)

[Mateusrcp]

Ahhhhh horror.

[AristYdes]

he got all his musical ideas looking at himself in the mirror!

[ctimur]

And I guess you've got this comment by looking at your ass in the mirror, uh?

[AristYdes]

i was looking at his screwed up face actually

[ctimur]

That could be you, people could have fun about your face. Oh. maybe they actually do. Or maybe, they will, who knows?

Think about it mi amigo.

[mogueyou]

@AristYdes see how good you look after getting hit in the face by a tank shell

[AristYdes]

@mogueyou you have to be quite stupid to get in the way of a tank shell

[MusicaRicercata]

@AristYdes It's called war, you fucking disgrace for a human being.

[AristYdes]
