This too is a good thing to note, I remember reading in a Xenakis-overview book about this. The whole "limited modes of transposition" definitely had a influence on Iannis' later development of "Sieves". So meeting it back to the earlier pieces, confirms how I've always seen Xenakis' aesthetic; as an amalgamation of a lot of these concepts/techniques and a stylistic development forward!
