Xenakis: Architect of Sound

Iannis Xenakis Eonta


Iannis Xenakis Kottos
Iannis Xenakis Phlegra
Iannis Xenakis La legénde d'Eer

Explore the music of Iannis Xenakis, whose pioneering compositions integrated the worlds of sound and architecture. From the computer-calculated piano solo in Eonta, to the architecturally organised sound structures in Phlegra, the unique polyphony created by a solo cello in Kottos and the chaotic blend of organic and electronic in La legénde d'Eer, this is the opportunity to explore Xenakis's varied musical styles.

Presented by Southbank Centre in association with London Sinfonietta as part of Ether. This concert forms part of the Iannis Xenakis International Conference London 2011.
