  • Very well deepen, very interesting. My best to Richard Toop.

  • If you ever had an interest in a "musical light show," this lecture is for you. It's of course mostly about the principal exponent of this syzygy, Iannis Xenakis. In this lecture, you are situated into the plan of Metastaseis. X's Polytopes, coordinating music with lasers and up to 400 mirrors, are introduced. (The Cluny Polytope was meant to be seen by an audience lying flat on their backs in a Roman bath and looking straight up!) The Legende d'Er is the finale to this concise, important talk.
