    his music always sounds to me, and i mean this in a very sincere and unjokingly manner, like the music written by someone who had half their face blown off. sometimes people of immense greatness die but fail to actually die due to their greatness not yet happening. this music always makes me think of that. listening to this i find it amazing that it existed in his mind before it was introduced to our ears via musicians. i feel like after listening to xenakis, nothing else sounds the same as it did before.

      I have Anemoessa on a festival box set, it's an amazing Xenakis work! I am an obsessive fanatic with Xenakis though haha, so I've heard and/or nearly everything available!! Thanks though sir, I haven't listened to that in a little while..

    recently tried this as love-making music. wife veto’d it immediately. i’d preemptively prepared bullet-point defences about why i felt it was important in our sex life to embrace serious western art music as a reflection of our dedication to each other. this too, unfortunately, was met with resistance.

    I had a mate years ago who had an argument with Xenakis about his esoteric notations which had to be learned anew for each piece - Iannis didn`t care how hard the musicians had to work apparently and my friend used to not look forward to learning his music but liked it and was quite taken aback when I told him that Iannis had died. I also had a book of interviews with Iannis which I unfortunately lost but from it there is still a strong sense of what a near death battlefield injury experience is like. You can hear that here I think. perhaps ; a mythology of pain etc

      Mais c'est une musique fondamentalement différente
      En conséquence, sa perception doit être abordée différemment
      La créativité de Xenakis, à mon avis, n'a pas la reconnaissance et la couverture appropriées
      Il s'agit d'un travail spécifique pour la première connaissance de la créativité de Xenakis peut être difficile à percevoir
      Et je conseille Oresteia et son travail pour les percussions (Rebonds et Pléiades notamment).
