Iannis Xenakis: Tribut CD for free Download
A free-to downlad tribut CD on Russian Netlabel Musica Excentrica is paying hommage to Iannis Xenakis. This is not just THE Greek composer of the 20th century - he is the archetype of the modern composer as such and possibly the last true superstar of the genre: Musically creative beyond any comparison, with a sense for the rediscovery of rhythm as an important element long before the ascent of techno and a sensibility for the interests of an audience outside of academic circles. Which is again clearly demonstrated by the line-up of the participating artists to this album, which are almost all rather from the side of cutting edge electronica than the Avantgarde.
Included on “Tribute to Iannis Xenakis” are: Kenneth Kirschner, Kevin M. Krebs, Alexei Borisov,Quest.Room.Project, Zenial vs Phillip B. Klingler, CD-R, and Alva Noto. While the inclusion of common creative license proponent Kirschner may not be such a big surprise, getting Alva Noto, famous for his solo releases on German Raster Noton and his collaborative efforts with Ryuchi Sakomoto, should certainly give the tribute the attention it deserves. His track, by the way, must surely be the most minmal piece of music I have ever listened to, consisting of nothing but a delicately varying frequency wave.
All contributions are exclusive to the compilation and underline the label's motto for “Tribute to Iannis Xenakis”: Also a mathematician, experimental engineer and architect, he is a true cult figure."
