Révolutions Xenakis

Rate this book
Né grec en Roumanie et exilé en France, affirmant qu’« il faut être constamment un immigré », Iannis Xenakis (1921 ou 1922-2001) fut un créateur à la pointe de la modernité la plus radicale, tout en se ressourçant dans les musiques traditionnelles de l’Afrique ou de l’Asie et dans l’antiquité. À la fois compositeur, architecte, ingénieur, pionnier des alliages arts/sciences, il révolutionne tant la musique instrumentale que la musique électronique et invente, avec ses Polytopes, la synthèse des arts à l’ère technologique.

Iannis Xenakis

103 books29 followers
Iannis Xenakis (also spelled as Yannis Xenakis; Greek: Γιάννης "Ιάννης" Ξενάκης, 29 May 1922 – 4 February 2001) was a Greek-French composer, music theorist, architect, performance director and engineer. After 1947, he fled Greece, becoming a naturalized citizen of France.

Xenakis pioneered the use of mathematical models in music such as applications of set theory, stochastic processes and game theory and was also an important influence on the development of electronic and computer music. He integrated music with architecture, designing music for pre-existing spaces, and designing spaces to be integrated with specific music compositions and performances.
