Thanks for showing the "piano roll" for certain sections of piece, really highlights what Xenakis was doing. Very easy to compare these graphics with his score for "mycenae alpha." It is clear that he is working within a similar framework. Great job!!!
It just means having a great deal of pitch, rhythm, dynamic, etc., values already pre-determined before going to the score and actually composing the piece. There are many different ways to generate these values as "precomposition." Xenakis tends to use statistical and probabilistic principles to generate those values in his compositions.
This is great! What a discovery! Thanks for all the work and the explanation!
