Iannis Xenakis - Percussion Works (2006)

red fish blue fish • Steven Schick • Various performers

& 8220;"However, if the percussion music of Iannis Xenakis defines percussionists as the Bach Cello Suites defined and codified the repertoire of cellists or as the music of late Beethoven reified the mature language of the string quartet, Xenakis himself can seem maddeningly un-definable. In contrasting views, the folklore of Xenakis paints him as either a logician or a magician. As logician there is the portrait of Xenakis as "pure mind," an ultimate rationalist, hewing to the cool constants of mathematics and to the ideology of the device. This is the Xenakis who applied Le Corbusier's concept of "Modulor" to music (whereby architectural proportion was linked to human shape and tied firmly to the ratios of the golden mean). This is Xenakis as master of the unwieldy grammar of FORTRAN and the creator of the graphic computer interface of UPIC. It is this logical and unsentimental Xenakis that the Czech novelist, Milan Kundera praised for his "world of soothing objectivity where the aggressivity of a soul seeking to express itself has no place." But there is also Xenakis the mythological, the terrible, in whose music a landscape of incantation and ritual is pockmarked by sudden and often inexplicable cruelty. How else can one understand the shattering silences of Psappha or the wailing sirens, sea stones and affolants at the end of Persephassa? Likewise, the sixxen swarms in Métaux and the spinning cross-patterns of Dmaathen do not come from a music of the mind alone. These musical structures, as Olivier Messiaen wrote of the teeming string writing in Pithoprakta, "are not simply the ancillary side-effects of a thought; they are not radically new but radically other."

NOTE: If you check the page for this release on Mode's website, you'll notice that the first run of this set contained a badly produced Pléïades and that they have since had a re-printing of the second disc. The second disc here IS the correct one! No errors here! :)

I know ftp2share would be great for something like this, but I can't get anything to upload without failing so my apologies for the single host.
