Iannis Xenakis- ST/10 (1/2)

ST/10 by Iannis Xenakis.

This is actually the least-heard version of this work; I'm sure most people who are viewing this are familiar with his similarly named string quartet ST/4, which has been recorded a couple times, most notably by the Arditti Quartet. My friend formalized (I suggest you all also subscribe to her videos if you enjoy modern music) will be uploading ST/4 in a few days for you also =) Sadly, I had to reformat my hard drive a few months ago, and lost my recording of ST/38, the other version, but will try to get back. The numbers in these titles refer to the number of performers, which means that here 10 players are performing 38 tracks of music, and yes, in ST/4 there are only four players to deal with 38 instruments' worth of music. It's very interesting to hear all of the extended techniques required to achieve this effect.

This piece is not available on any CD.

I've enjoyed the various realizations of the "ST/x" work for many years. I probably prefer this one the most but it's a very interesting work regardless of the number of players. Thanks for posting it!

lovely-it's like lots of insects having a conversation.

i prefer it to Boulez which is often very professional modern music.

I'm afraid I can't compensate your loss of ST/38, but I have an mp3 of ST/48. If you're interested, I can upload it.
