That does NOT look easy to play.

Yesterday I saw Arditti Quartet performing live in Milan (Italy) musics by Lachenmann! (Sede 24 ORE)
Great performance! They are 4 but are also ONE !!

on of the most common things I notice about Xenakis' works: the human organism is not comfortable producing his compositions. I wonder about the long-term perceptual / cognitive effect of these ergonomics. Certainly - like all surreal, dada, and likewise - a heightened consciousness is produced of the arrhythmia. Until this is put in context, though, Xenakis work will remain one fiddle and an Orchestra Invisible.

@cephalopod Xenakis was an intelligent man, but this, sadly, resulted in a lot of mental masturbation noise. My statement isn't wrong, you just don't like it. I have the right to reject and accept, and to express my views. I could just as well take a shit from the 2nd floor and call this art. It's this pseudo-open-mindedness that lead to tons of perversions, some of which ignoring the human perception. He has some good stuff, though. "Jazz isn't dead, it just smells funny" - Zappa once said.

Very very nice! Thanks for the video!!



@Kneam To call any work of art or music artless is just a tired, moot, inherently wrong statement these days, and this isn't even aleatory or dadaist, where incoherence and nonsense is a given. On the contrary, Xenakis had a very clear, well-represented and intelligent idea of what he was doing, and he expressed it, and it resulted in a music unlike any other. You simply don't like it. There's no need to harbor some futile, closed-minded animosity towards it.
