An interview with the composer Xenakis. (1 of 3) The interviewer is Harry Halbreich (Belgian musicologist)Not sure who "owns" the footage so I claim "fair use".(original title said "By GK", appears to be from 1995)Original footage not well shot or edited so I have reframed some of it and added some pauses (for emphasis). Also I have peak limited the audio and added new titles (the music underneath is Xenakis, but which piece?, answers on a postcard).The original was one file and was higher res/less compressed but wouldnt fit on YouTube (276mb) so I had to split it into three.I will try and find a free server to upload the whole file to at some point. http://complementinversion.blo...

those of his book musique et architecture that i like a lot, and thus he avoids the unbearable sides of musics adressing the mind too much, that what even messiean could not always do, and schubert never

Nice try, the music is an extract from La Legende d'Er (about 24mins in).

The music is very brief and doesn't interfere with the dialogue on the various speaker setups I have listened to it on (obviously, or I would not have mixed it that way). Sorry you had difficulty with it, get the DVD if you want the whole interview sans edits.

Irrelevant to the interview but the background music makes it very hard to hear what he's saying.

i think the music underneath is from the polytope de cluny

"You have to be from the beginning to the end- until you die- Free. That means rejecting all the things, that is even forgetting all of the pieces that you wrote. So, it's a challenge. It's not easy... but it's interesting. There are birds outside."

i am not sure if this will reach you in time, but one must be very careful when listening to the LEGENT OF EER. the high frequence sounds in the beginning might foul you, into thinking that the volume is too low. if one plays that louder, it can play hell with your hearing. it happened to me, and for three days, i was afraid that my hearing had been damaged for good!

More of experimentation and implementation it seems. It is different when you base music off of math than when you base it off of mental harmonic arrangement or whatever. It put him more as an innovator and scientist than musical genius.

Oh dear! Don't say he's a genius, you'll get the Mozartians foaming at the mouth!
