This is one of the three pieces that got me into 'classical music' in my late teens and I never looked back, Xenakis' output of works keeps giving and giving!
This is one of the first scores of Xenakis, and of course we can find here mainly the features of that style. Nevertheless, listening cardully, we can find some features that will be developed later on. I hear such features in the brass sounds, for instance.

Exactly the same here. Through Xenakis I discovered classical music. A whole new world opened..
Nah that's wrong to call it classical
I would recommend to hear this live.
what a neat piece, xenakis was truly a brilliant composer.
This is litteraly so dark that it scorches the surface of reality .. absoultely consuming and brilliant !
My ringtone
The classic Metastasis (1954) from Xenakis, composed in the same year as another classic Rock Around the Clock’ from Bill Haley & His Comets!!!
Insane when you think about it, awesome though!
Thanks for sharing this fantastic performance!
Strange how this does not show its age like so many works of the time do. Well played.
EXTRAORDINARY
Great performance!
Instinct and subjective choice are the only guarantees of the value of a work 🕌⚡️

Bravo.
GREAT

What exactly are those Percussion instruments in the beginning? Woodblocks?
I'm surprised no one answered this yet: yes, those are woodblocks at the beginning, during the initial glissandi.
Sounds like death
@Evil Robot Santa Claus 🎁 💣 💥 well,... war = death :v
@Evil Robot Santa Claus 🎁 💣 💥 Macro micro: Maybe cancer would sound like war if we could hear the affected cells.
@Evil Robot Santa Claus 🎁 💣 💥 I wonder if the cellular experience would not sound like this orchestral piece.
But isn't death silent?
Muisic = sound + rhythm without regard to variety or sequence.
i think this piece will be suitable for insidious movie hahahah
- 건축가였던 크제나시스
- 구도를 그리고, 오선에 다시 옮겨줌
- 연주자들이 느리거나,빠르게 '글리산도'로 연주
- 르코르뷔지에 (건축가)에게 아이디어제시
Xenakis spelled it “Metastaseis.”
Моя собака страшно напугалась
Who else is here due to the discussion about some people's not liking Aaron Copland´s ¨modern¨classical music?
SAW
you just know it's cancer the guy called it metastasis
C'est bien fait comme bruit, mais j'appelle pas ça de la musique. J'ai horreur du boucan
Great performance!
