Iannis Xenakis's Music re:composed by 4 composers, we are waiting for the others...

Iannis Xenakis was one of the first composer who used computer to break out drastically the rules of harmony with mathematics. As an architect he worked with drawn lines to compose huge masses of strings glissandi and other maths lays to compose stochastic great music. But perhaps the most important thing what Iannis Xenakis transmit to us is the sense of freedom in musical creation.

XX CENTURY CONTEMPORARY COMPOSERS RE:COMPOSED workshop

Only 4+2 composers were not scared
to re:compose for chaos Iannis Xenakis's music: why just 6?

What was XX century contemporary music? At the beginning, a free music outside formatted rules of convention, but with lot of serious and unbearable composers. An abstract and erudite music for an international elite that even couldn't understand what was going on. We never knew why most of contemporary music performance was so tedious? To loose their audience? Our workshop of XX century contemporary composers re:composed is an arbitrary testimony of what should be the restart of free music, but with fun.

CataRT. Grains of Iannis Xenakis' original electroacoustic piece were re-ordered in real-time cut-up."
