This reminds me of the Scelsi works you have posted . . . . just loose track of time with it!

Beautiful :)

The reverse of my first experience of Xenakis ' Persephassa' where the percussionists surrounded the audience - a very 'tangible' affair.

Recently 'blown away' at Kings place when audience surrounded players for Jim Aitchison's (Anthony Gormley) work - it was a unique experience to be able to move around the periphery - rather like exploring a sculpture....appropriate!

Hope I get to explore this piece similarly one day - thank you

It's a pity that the beating phenomenon can't be appreciated very well in recordings unless they're very good, this must be a really great thing in person :)

I'm willing to have some free time to give what they deserve to some of your latest uploads which I think I have never heard before. The ones I know, seems like a great set to me, always pleasing me, Max. :)

Oh, and we are now lucky in Madrid, we are currently having a monographic about Xenakis in the national auditorium :)

Greetings!

ThX, nice music, love the beats interstitial microtonality;

very peaceful for a warring globe;

[Steinway12345]

simply ethereal

I have never heard any sort of microtonality before this
