Iannis Xenakis - Cendrées

[@CsrlWiener]

Xenakis is so phenomenal and powerful like an elemental force. Praise and encouragement to those who can help us fully appreciate him

[@145FREE]

Xenakis is one of my favorite modern composers. Fresh sound, sparkling ideas, bold color. Love it!

[@stacey_1111rh]

What a creation. Xenakis was his own and he was brilliant

[@lotharlamurtra7924]

Finally! I heard it decades ago and never found it again. One of the great Xenakis oeuvres.

[@davisatdavis1]

This made me feel emotions that I had never felt before... This piece left me shaking and with many questions.

[@js27-a5t]

Perfectly captures the feeling I just had when a student who didn't do the work and showed up late each time complained about his grade.

[@pelodelperro]

Ha! I'm a teacher myself and completely understand where you're coming from...

[@TheNovaFiends]

Thats a very specific feeling!

It's fun to be a gatekeeper and jerk people around when they are at their weakest, isn't it?

[@Kabelczerwony]

Left me shaking and questioning greatness of all the works I've heard before. Thanks for sharing, greetings from Poland.

[@edgarjosuepedrazacervantes6148]

Nice. I was feeling very stressed and listening to this helped me to liberate not only tension, but anger. There is close to no well made music expressing this kind of feelings.

I love it!!!

[@brianmorgan6657]

Bravo.

[@ezekielnigma]

A tiny bit of this is reminiscent of Yeibichai singing, i'm in awe!

[@Bashkii]

It is visceral and emotional....much better than the dry serialism of the Darmstadt school.

[@untitled6578]

I love both Xenakis and the Darmstadt school. Not better - just different.

[@davidwright8432]

This is to music as Samuel Beckett is to drama. Intense, raw and unsparing.

[@oceanmachine1906]

Or Lovecraft to existential awe, or the Greek myths (which Xenakis was heavily inspired by)

[@antoniusaetneus855]

MAESTRO.

[@emmanueleperra1851]

Amazing I.Xenakis composition ("Cendrées").

[@rampant1apart]

Hmm...I dig this.

LOL

[@doughsquid]

Reminds me of Frank Zappa - Didja Get Any Onya?

[@perhapsiamjustslightlyconfused]

Opening is similar to jonchaies

[@Hynqzn]

Xenakis is well known for his glissandos

[@TiagoNugentComposer]

I legit thought it was Jonchais for a minute

[@easternflaneur]

the sound of mathematics

It's shining music or 2001 just definitely kubrick music.

[@sidogr9854]

tack tack !

[@beckoning-chasm]

What is the artwork accompanying this? Looks a bit like Paul Klee. Whatever it is works pretty well.

[@pelodelperro]

Beckoning Chasm William Congdon.

[@beckoning-chasm]

Thank you! Now that I've seen the work, it doesn't look at all like Klee--not sure what I was thinking. Still looks great and adds to the music. Thanks again!

[@odkeram]

Pelo, Thanks. Could you please tell us who painted the picture?

[@pelodelperro]

William Congdon.

[@lazycat724]

Does someone have the score?

Is this available on cd?

[@alexgabriel5423]

Xenakis grew up intellectually in a torment of geopolitical strife brought upon Greece by Nato and Soviet disputes. His Peace of mind was found in Math and its expression thro sound. The strife in Greece left all there in Despair that continues for decades...this music is speechlessness and despair in a way. You can call all this exploratory but does anyone dare say it s an expression of Xenakis s despair and lack of words to deal with the constant strife in Europe? Ioannes Koukouzeles the Byzantinr Music composer expresses a different state of the Soul than Xenakis. Xenakis studied Plato but was his Soul living the peace and philosophy leading to God and contemplation that was Plato s aim? See the writings of Festugiere on the Contemplative Life of Plato. Xenakis built a Platonic architecture house in Corsica but was he at peace after losing an eye while opposing British tanks rolling around in Athens?

The angst of election year for politicians! 😁🤣

FYI only, the section around 18:00 sounds like a Monty Python sketch :)

Έργο κυψέλη

[@saraondo2698]

This reminds me of the monkey chants. Oh oh oh My "She dances in the wind", ","Threnody for Frank Zappa " are mild in comparison.
