Hey guys, a friend of mine posted a link on his blog talking about how The Drawing Center in NYC is pairing up with the Electronic Music Foundation and they're having an exhibition on Iannis Xenakis, an amazing modern electronic composer who passed away in 2001. I thought there might be some of you who're interested in it so here's the link.

little-scale, i figured you would be interested haha
can someone suggest some stuff by him cause must the stuff I find is unlistenable.
Haha, you have to understand, he was a serialist composer, most of his pieces are made based on mathematics used in architecture. Part of the fun of Xenakis is trying to comprehend what's going on. It's pretty deep in the modern experimental side of things. The album I have is Electronic Music by Iannis Xenakis but he also wrote many other things, maybe check out Rebonds A and Rebonds B, they're multiple percussion pieces with rhythmic motifs and time manipulation.

Is he pretty well known in Greece? In America I feel like he's really only known in Academia.
