for those genuinely curious, Xenakis was very much a math man. He tried to make music which was representational of forces in nature. E.G. chaotic functions such as the math which tries to explain Brownian motion. Take those functions, zoom in, zoom out (making different densities but consistent in form) then make the form of the piece consistent with the micro structures within.

There is , of course, a difference between saying that the passage is reminiscent of the phenomenon of resonance, which it may be, and saying that the passage is "based on resonance", which is presumptuous in the absence of further evidence. Xenakis wrote using general stochastic processes -it seems likely that what you mention is at best an emergent feature of the music.

Reading the notation really explains everything, at first I've liked his music but still was skeptical on how it was so closely related to architecture and math as it claimed to be.

gotta be honest, this is the first time that I wasn't utterly bored with Xenakis, but that is solely because of this video. It seems that I can't really get Xenakis' music on it's own, i need this visual stimulation. With it, the whole experience is quite enjoyable.

@@Whatismusic123 A lot of famous horror and SF movie soundtracks were written by respected composers and have entered the popular imagination as much as any pop song - or any Beethoven symphony. Take Bernard Herrmann, conductor of the CBS Symphony Orchestra and the composer of the famous "screeching strings" in Psycho. Think of the theme in Jaws, which no one can listen to without doing a shark impersonation. Also, some film directors have used famous classical works exactly *because* they sound weird and disturbing. Stanley Kubrick used Bartok's Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta for The Shining, and Ligeti's Requiem in 2001: a Space Odyssey. There, it's as effective in suggesting the frighteningly alien as "The Blue Danube" is in suggesting the man-made grandeur of space stations. As for music intended to "cause an instinctual reaction of anxiety", try Berlioz's 'Symphony Fantasque' or Mussorgsky's 'Night on the Bare Mountain' - which frightened me silly when I was a kid. Just because music doesn't sound 'nice' doesn't mean it isn't music.

Congratulations, amazingly done! I would love to see the graphic score in its totality on one page, I wonder what the structure of the whole looks like. Is that possible?

Xenakis ventured where even Varèse dared not tread.

I knew this musician from Milan Kundera's book, Une rencontre. He mentioned Xenakis' music confering him in his and his country's darkest period of time. But he was a pure listener without any idea of Xenakis' music. He was just so eager that he need Xenakis' music. I am so wondering Xenakis' music. It is very difficult for me to understand Xenakis' music,too. However I can appreciate it in its balance of different noises (? or sound only ). That is amazing....very similar with the structure of classical music but its all new.....

@ja_cob_mus

Yes, there is. I’m not sure if it’s published in its entirety, but there are excerpts of it in his book Formalized Music. From what I gather (though I may be wrong), he created the graphical version as he composed it, as it’s more useful from the composer’s standpoint, and then translated it into musical notation so that each instrument can read their own part in traditional notation instead of deciphering all the lines and dots in the graphical score.

It's a very curious piece. Not for everyone but I liked it. Xenakis was great at creating sound worlds (often quite scary ones!). Is it music - of course. Music is pitch [mostly], rhythm, harmony, timbre and silence. So this is music, so is Justin Bieber, even bloody Cliff Richard. It boils down to what floats your boat and what doesn't. Loved the graphics. The first part reminded me of computer programming in the very old days (punch cards).

Meraviglioso!

The clamor fills the city, and the inhibiting force of voice and rhythm reaches a climax. It is an event of great power and beauty in its ferocity. Then the impact between the demonstrators and the enemy occurs. The perfect rhythm of the last slogan breaks up in a huge cluster of chaotic shouts, which also sprcads to the tail. Imagine, in addition, the reports of dozens of machine guns and the whistle of bullets addipg their punctuations to this total disorder. The crowd is then rapidly dispersed, and after sonic and visual hell follows a detonating calm, full of despair, dust, and death. The statistical laws of these events, separated from their political or moral contcxt, are the same as those ofthc cicadas or the rain. Thcy are the laws of the passage from complete order to total disorder in a continuous or explo- sive manner. They are stochastic laws. Xenakis - Formalized Music
