“Dipping into this time and time again. Amazing man. Amazing works. Bohor, from the Nonesuch LP (where it was called Bohor 1 ), is in my top 3 of favorite works of all time, but the late 90s release thru EMF flattened the sound and shaved off the final seconds. The version on this recording brings…”

Hayden 01/20/2022 00:40 in 2022 Music“Ok, so it's not like this is "new music", and the comp is basically a brick (I think it's about 4.5 hours), but this is unquestionably the definitive works of Xenakis. It'll be in my top 100 of all-time (once I make it public again). The remastering on the project is sublime... everything sounds…”

Listening to the complete electroacoustic work of Iannis Xenakis three times in its entirety has been a long journey through the cold, dark and threatening wasteland of hellish sonic regions, where all hope of encountering life is vain. The most impressive pieces are certainly Bohor, La légende d'Eer and Gendy 3. But above all, Persepolis, which evokes for me the inexorable approach of universal cosmic nothingness whose pitiless mechanics suck up, crush and disintegrate all the subtle forms of consciousness in a terrible agony.
The experience of this listening will have given me a better understanding of electroacoustics, a genre relatively unknown to me, and of the musical and sound evolution of the 20th century.
