Formalized Music: Thought and Mathematics in CompositionPendragon Press, 1992 - 387 pages This is a new, revised, and expanded edition of Xenakis's landmark book of 1971. In addition to three totally new chapters examining recent breakthroughs in music theory, two original computer programs illustrating the actual realization of newly proposed methods of composition, and an appendix of the very latest developments of stochastic synthesis as an invitation to future exploration, Xenakis offers a very critical self-examination of his theoretical propositions and artistic output of the past thirty-five years. This edition is an essential tool for understanding the man and the thought processes of one of this century's most important and revolutionary musical figures. |
