'gmeeoorh' for organ (1974) is the shit.
I'll bet it is, but how to hear it? Has it ever been recorded?!!??!?! Groovin' on lots of solo Xenakis pieces lately. Love "Keren" for trombone, "Nomos Alpha", "Evyrali" et al.

And, apropos of nothing, my 10 favourite titles of Xenakis' pieces:

Nitpick: should be Troorkh I think, for trombone + orkhestra?
― anatol_merklich, Tuesday, 18 November 2008 13:27 (fifteen years ago) link
Oh yeah, Troorkh, that's right

More Xenakis in "that" London, but didn't they do "Eonta" and "La légende d'Eer" the last time round?

"La légende d'Eer" once every six years is still too seldom. there should be a room where you can go to hear it in 8 channels every week
I saw the performance of "Oresteia" outdoors at CalArts last November and it was one to remember. they handed out hundreds of resonating coil noisemakers to the audience for the ending while the children's chorus ran through the audience shrieking the final 'chords'. maybe it was just the picnic & wine atmosphere but it all seemed to have a fun vibe even though it still sounded terrifying

hoping there isn't some trite ecumeno-mystical paratext trash accompanying this cuz for me it's just the sound of everything altogether

I love how it sounds the way the title would suggest it sounds.

^^^I have been listening to that today. Persepolis (1972) and La Légende d’Eer (1978) on repeat.

Scored a nice clean copy of the GRM Works LP just the other day. I love the note for Bohor:
The author deliberately abstained from giving any descriptive information on his piece, letting the listener choose an imaginary route for himself

I'm getting so obsessed with this, I doubt I'll listen to much else for the next week.
