Spectralmusic

One of the other great icons of the 20th Century (and my favorite composer).

He was innovative and prolific (like many of his contemporaries) and wrote much of the most deeply emotional and expressive music I've heard.

In every genre of music he wrote, he broke ground:

Orchestral
Chamber
Ensemble
Vocal
Electronic

His catalogue is very diverse and he explored a lot through his near 50 years of composition. Between Metastasis (or even earlier, Six Chansons for piano), to the late O-mega and Sea Change, there is an extreme stylistic development.


I'm a huge fan, overtly familiar with the majority of his available output and am always sharing my passion. Long live Xenakis!
