@isaacdelaconcha, Xenakis ratcheted up the level of ugliness in music to heights matched only by the most rigid adherents to atonality: Stockhausen, Saariaho, and other sadistic creeps.

@TheFate23 mmm, i think i was drunk when i wrote that... anyways, I meant that theres almost no similaritues between this and ambient music. Its like comparing Kontakte to techno music, Berio to Xenakis or a guzheng to a harp, just because superficially your brain will try to assimilate it to the most similar thing youve heard before. Sibelius, Cage and raw recordings have to do more with proto ambient than Xenakis. And it isnt horror film music either, Mozart has more to do with that.

@NevinJarek in fact i said "proto". :-)

@TheFate23 no, shut up, its nothing like ambient and noise, please go and have brain farts somewhere else, or learn about xenakis' works before trying to some stupid new age music.
