Electronic Music
by Iannis Xenakis / Groupe de Recherches Musicales
Gathering foundational tape works composed during the Greek-French architect's tenure at Pierre Schaeffer's GRM studio, this collection represents a milestone in early electroacoustic innovation. The pieces heavily utilize mathematical probability models to painstakingly manipulate raw acoustic phenomena into terrifying, granular clouds of sound. It provides vital historical context for the birth of modern noise and experimental music.
