Yannis XENAKIS: Le Polytope de Cluny

[RobinParmarSound]

The double CD CCMIX: Electroacoustic Music from Paris contains this track (full version), "Mycenae Alpha", plus a selection from other artists, including two pieces from Brigitte Robindoré that really deserve a wider audience.

Does anyone know where this video was made? I'm looking for a high quality/ resolution copy for a museum exhibition. Thanks !

rubbish

La labor de poetas y artistas de vanguardia consiste en "anticipar" o "predecir" acontecimientos . Por tanto su sincronizacion creadora no necesariamente esta en sintonia con las mentes acostumbradas a otros canones esteticos, hasta que llega el tiempo. Hoy dia (medio siglo despues de esta obra) es dable escuchar sonidos similares en paginas de Internet dedicadas a captar y reproducir los mensajes de los satelites artificiales y los sonidos de la naturaleza cosmica circundante.

Love this piece. The Mode CD of this has some incredible stereophonic sound that unfortunately can't be conveyed by youtube's mono settings...I highly recommend getting the Mode CD if you can.

[LackingLack0]

why do people bother to come here listen to this and then make their idiot comments about "oh this sounds like cement mixers" or whatever.... i mean if you really didnt know what to expect from this video you're the dumb one here

[charmand79]

Because we want to check out why certain people like you appreciate this nonsense as being music... Curiosity is human aint it??

[BodyHeaven]

@charmand79 You can't "check" something like taste, understanding, sensibility, education. :)

You will not find any "explanation" here or anywhere else.

@BodyHeaven

One day you ll become a great poet mate.. I bet you will. Deep deep sayings there

[joshisanonymous]

@LackingLack0 There are many reasons. Maybe they have never heard any Xenakis pieces and wanted to see what he was about. Maybe they haven't heard this particular one. Maybe they've heard it but think it sounds terrible compared to a different version. Maybe they were looking up videos on polytopes and stumbled across this. Maybe they were looking up Cluny and stumbled on it. Maybe they saw a link to it from a blog or another video. Don't get so bent up over it.

[MaxRidgway]

Very very nice. Thanks. I loved this!

[henzuurveld]

it should be the version with the laser and flashlight. i think it was from 1972 and 1973. greetings

[henzuurveld]

very lovely video. does anyone know if there is a dvd with the whole version of polytope de cluny, because the track is well over 20 minutes long.

[katosushi]

his face is blown off?know i understand why he makes such a stupid music and it sounds so futuritic cuz he is invalid.guess a deaf person can make electronica too!!!

[katosushi]

did you know that he is a war hero?half of his face is blown of a bomb in ww2!!!!still handsome anyway

[vaspers]

Love it. Xenakis is one of my top 10 favorite musical artists. Nice seeing him here. Smart guy. Noise pioneer. Check out my YouTube music videos of cheesey Casio slingings, tagged Vaspers and Str8 Sounds.

Now I go near a cement-mixer and enjoy again this masterpiece in an alive performance!

[GreggaryPeccary]

Haha, this music is so fuckin cool

[JJ77TTUU3]

real art deserves a place in a world where they repeat the same so called "classics" and not just within musical spheres.

Incredible and terrifying =/
