Xenakis: His Life In Music
by James Harley
Welcome to the website of Xenakis: His Life In Music. This book, published by Routledge Press in 2004, has been authored by James Harley. It represents approximately a decade of work studying the music of Iannis Xenakis, one of the most original and important contemporary composers.
Reviews/articles:
This site is designed to enhance the book. As time goes on, score examples originally intended for the print publication will be added here, along with audio excerpts. For those who do not easily have access to the full scores, these examples will hopefully help illustrate the descriptive or analytical discussion in the book.
In the meantime, here are some links to further information, and other Xenakis-related publications.
