@splankhoon No, you are wrong. Music is "sound heard" (Cage)

Reminiscent of Dolly Parton wiggling her breasts against the bells of St Paul's Cathedral, London.

FYI Xenakis was an architect, and he viewed his compositions as physical constructions. Find a video of Metastasis showing the score go by in real time and you will understand. This is a guy who spent a part of his youth fighting against Fascism as a Communist rebel. To his ears gunfire and explosions are as much a part of his natural soundscape as cows are for farmers and "you son of a bitch" for guys who won't pay alimony or child support. His perception of that environment is everything.

@iWyke2 The score is written out with notes. These might just be his graphical representation for his piece which he then scribbles down on staves.

My favorite Xenakis piece. One of the most accesibles to the public, I think.

how do you read this??!?!?

I saw an exhibit of his work at the Canadian Centere for Architecture in Montreal. The man was ahead of his time...and still is.
The creator is a Mathematician and Xenakis brings us one step closer.

it's still surprises me to read comments on what is 'music' and what not...lots of people tend to be lost without melody (or a good beat)...yet nature itself provides rhythm and pitches...it's all around us every day...and whatever sound we choose to organise...that is music. "A composer is a guy who goes round enforcing his will on unsuspecting air molecules" (F. Zappa)
