Iannis Xenakis citáty

Iannis Xenakis bol grécky hudobný skladateľ, ktorý stelesňuje ideál toho, čomu sa hovorí „architektúra hudby“. Takáto charakteristika sa pripisuje mnohým veľkým skladateľom minulosti , avšak obzvlášť dobre sa hodí na Xenakisa, pretože skutočne pôsobil aj ako architekt a stavebný inžinier v Le Corbusierovom parížskom ateliéri.

Formalized Music

“Music is not a language. Any musical piece is akin to a boulder with complex forms, with striations and engraved designs atop and within, which men can decipher in a thousand different ways without ever finding the right answer or the best one…”

Introductory notes for Diatope performance, 1978 http://www.moderecords.com/catalog/148xenakis.html

“Art, and, above all, music, has a fundamental function, which is to catalyze the sublimation that it can bring about through all means of expression. It must aim through fixations which are landmarks, to draw [one] towards a total exaltation in which the individual mingles, losing his consciousness in a truth immediate, rare, enormous, and perfect. If a work of art succeeds in this undertaking even for a single moment, it attains its goal.”
