| Description | : ELECTRONIC MUSIC FOUNDATION EMFCD003, 1997; WICHTIGE AUFNAHMEN AUS DEM WERK, V.A. DER FRÜHZEIT DES GRIECHISCHEN KOMPONISTEN: 4 DER HIER ENTHALTENDEN STÜCKE ENTSTANDEN 1957-1962 IM INA GRM-STUDIO IN PARIS BEI PIERRE SCHAEFFER. EIN WEITERES STAMMT AUS DEM JAHRE 1970 (NUR INSTRUMENTALE SOUNDS), DAS LETZTE SCHLIEßLICH IST UNTER EINSATZ EINES SPEZIELLEN COMPUTER-PROGRAMMES ENTSTANDEN, WELCHES XENAKIS ENTWICKELT HAT (1992). SCHÖN & ERSTAUNLICH DIE GERÄUSCHHAFT-DRÖHNIG-ELEKTRONISCHEN STÜCKE AUS SEINER ANFANGSZEIT..., SUPERLATIVE AND LONG DESIRED REISSUE OF XENAKIS'S EARLY ELECTRONIC WORKS, INCLUDING THE IN-DEMAND PIECES FROM HIS HIS PIONEERING NONESUCH ALBUM ELECTRO-ACOUSTIC MUSIC. ISSUED IN COLLABORATION WITH FRANCE'S INA-GRM, THE STUDIO WHERE THE FIRST 3 OF THESE COMPOSITIONS WERE REALIZED. ALTHOUGH IT ONLY MAKES UP A TINY PORTION OF HIS TOTAL COMPOSED WORK TO DATE, XENAKIS'S TAPE WORKS ARE AS LEGENDARY AND SIGNIFICANT AS THOSE OF SCHAEFFER, HENRY OR STOCKHAUSEN. POWERFUL, MIND EXPANDING LISTENING -- THIS RELEASE CERTAINLY WILL RATE AS ONE OF 1997'S MOST IMPORTANT EXPERIMENTAL MUSICAL DOCUMENTS. INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING WORKS: DIAMORPHOSES" (1957): "A STUDY OF WHITE NOISE AND ITS GRADUATIONS THROUGH THE PROCESS OF DENSIFICATION." "CONCRET PH" (1958): "THIS VERY SHORT WORK IS A SOUND CONTINUUM WITHOUT A SINGLE BREAK. XENAKIS PRE-RECORDED CRACKLING EMBERS FROM WHICH HE EXTRACTED VERY BRIEF (ONE-SECOND) SOUND ELEMENTS. THEN HE ASSEMBLED THEM IN HUGE QUANTITIES, VARYING THEIR DENSITY EACH TIME. THIS WORK CAN BE COMPARED TO HIS INSTRUMENTAL PREOCCUPATIONS CONCERNING 'CLOUDS OF SOUND'." "ORIENT-OCCIDENT" (1960): "ONE OF THE MAJOR MASTERPIECES FOR TAPE...CONCEIVED AS A MUSIC FOR A FILM BY ENRICO RULCHIGNONI." "BOHOR" (1962): "DEDICATED TO PIERRE SCHAEFFER...AN EXTRAORDINARY AND DEAFENING SOUND CONTINUUM WHERE THE LISTENER IS INVITED, IN A FIGURATIVE SENSE, TO HEAR BELLS CHIME WHILE STANDING INSIDE THEM!" "HIBIKI-HANA-MA" (1970:" "XENAKIS RECORDED AND REWORKED SEQUENCES PLAYED BY AN ORCHESTRA, A BIWA, AND A SNARE DRUM BUT NEVER RENDERED THEM UNRECOGNIZABLE. DISTRIBUTED OVER 12 TRACKS, THE WORK'S SONORITIES WERE ELABORATED IN FUNCTION OF A HIGHLY PRONOUNCED SPATIALIZATION. THE TITLE OF THIS PIECE MEANS 'REVERBERATION -- FLOWER -- INTERVAL." "S.709" (1992) RECORDED WITH THE GENDYN PROGRAM: "BOTH THE SOUNDS PRODUCED IN THE PIECE AS WELL AS THE GLOBAL EVOLUTION OF THE COMPOSITION ARE LITERALLY UNHEARD OF: DESPITE THE ABSTRACT NATURE OF THE PROCESSES INVOLVED AND THEIR MECHANICAL NATURE, THE XENAKIS SOUND WORLD IS IMMEDIATELY RECOGNIZABLE."
