That is awesome! He must have been an inspiring man to be around; so focused, knowledgeable and witty etc

I have a strong love for Diamorphoses, Orient Occident and Bohor, no need to worry. They're such amazing pieces <3 (Stockhausen doesn't have anything on the love I have for Xenakis overall but this thread's not about him
)
I do think Xenakis achieved something (as far as electronic music goes) even greater and more immersive but it's all subjective.
