Album Notes & Community Reviews
Commissioned for an incredibly lavish multi-media spectacle amidst ancient Iranian ruins, Iannis Xenakis delivered a terrifyingly intense electroacoustic masterpiece. 'Persepolis' is a staggeringly dense, wonderfully chaotic avant-garde composition, weaving violently dissonant noise and wildly abstract tape manipulation into a profoundly ominous, deeply apocalyptic sonic storm.
