  • Iannis Xenakis Celebration of the Centenary of the Composer (1922-2001) by the Percussions De Strasbourg
    Iannis Xenakis celebration of the centenary of the composer (1922-2001) by the Percussions de Strasbourg Pléiades at the Festival Milano Musica Percussions de Strasbourg Percussions Celebration of the centenary of the de Strasbourg IANNIS XENAKIS composer (1922-2001) by the Percussions de Strasbourg It has been said several times that, thanks to percussion, Xenakis reintroduced the problem of rhythm that was thought to have disappeared from contemporary music. Architect, engineer and composer, this genius of composition writes music whose complex and harmonious structure contrasts with the explosive energy that comes out of it. The Percussions de Strasbourg are proud to have collaborated so closely with this composer who dedicated to them the works Persephassa (1969) and Pléiades (1979), which have become a must in the field of percussion. Idmen A and B (1985) is also dedicated to the Percussions de Strasbourg. Psappha (1975) and Rebonds A and B (1987-88) are solos that appear in our repertoire as well as the trio Okho (1989).

During his lifetime, being as a participant of the social, political and cultural life in the years following the Second World War, he followed a course of research and creation serving his vision of art. Iannis Xenakis produced a rich musical, architectural and auctorial work which made him one of the most important progressive creators of the 20th century. Τόπος και Χρόνος Γέννησης 29th of May, 1922 ? (or 1921), Brăila, Romania. Τόπος και Χρόνος Θανάτου 4th of February, 2001, Paris. Κύρια Ιδιότητα Architect, mechanic, composer. 1. The First Years-Basic Studies Iannis Xenakis was born in Brăila of Romania, on the 29th of May, 1922 (the date is uncertain as it is probable that he was born in 1921) of parents who were members of the Greek Diaspora. His father, Klearchos, director of a British import-export company, came from Euboea, and his mother, Fotini Pavlou, came from the island of Limnos. Iannis Xenakis had two younger brothers, Kosmas, an urban planner and a painter, and Iasonas, a philosophy professor. Xenakis was introduced to music by his mother, who was a pianist. It is said that during his early childhood his mother gave him as a present a flute encouraging him to get involved in music. When he was five years old, his mother died from measles and the three children were brought up by French, English and German governesses.

  • A Ndrej Slávik X. Tre E Tyd Er Ö Ve Re Tt Te Maav Ia Nn Is X Enak Is
    Andrej Slávik Andrej Historien börjar med en enkel scen. Vi befinner oss på Gare d’Austerlitz, en av Paris sex stora järnvägsstationer. Året är 1947 och dagen den 11 november. Tre etyder Det är jour de l’armistice, årsdagen för första världskrigets slut. Ett tåg anländer över ett tema till stationen. Det stannar långsamt upp: otåliga passagerare har redan börjat ta av Iannis Xenakis sig ned på perrongen – och mitt ibland dem en ovanligt luggsliten man, närmare X. (1922–2001) trettio än tjugo och ensam så när som på sin kappsäck. Det är alltför lockande att Tre etyder över ett tema av Iannis av tema ett över etyder Tre uppfatta denna gestalt som en sinnebild för den moderna individen: en anonym resenär, utan mål, utan historia, utan identitet. På passet i hans innerficka står det förvisso ett namn – men det säger oss inte mycket: namnet är ett falskt namn, passet förfalskat. Vi skulle lika gärna kunna kalla honom för X. Iannis Xenakis (1922–2001) betraktas årtiondet efter sin död som en av nittonhundratalets mest inflytelserika tonsättare, även känd för sina banbrytande arkitekturprojekt och storslagna audiovisuella installationer. Dessutom var Xenakis en produktiv teoretiker som formulerade sin musikalisk-filosofiska vision i en lång rad texter av skiftande slag. Det är framför allt de sistnämnda som underkastas en ingående granskning i denna bok, som inte bara är den första monografin om kompositören på svenska utan också den första studien på något språk som ger sig i kast med hans estetik i dess fulla vidd. X. Tre etyder över ett tema av Iannis Xenakis tecknar en medvetet motsägelsefull bild av tonsättaren.
