Does one need any more evidence of Xenakis being a pioneer and visionary? This astounding electronic work sets the standard for "noise" compositions. Imagine being engulfed in a slowly shifting and modulating continuous sound; it first sounds like gongs, strings, and clarinets (I assume this was mostly created from acoustical instrument sources). A deeper, lower, noisier sound starts to develop, almost like that of machinery. If you're willing to stay the length, the trip is amazing.
And to think, this was created in 1971, years before Organum (the David Jackman project), Merzbow, MB, and any other so-called "noisicians". No wonder that Merzbow and others contributed to a "Persepolis" remix project. He didn't do any better.
