IANNIS XENAKIS
La Légende D'Eer
Boomkat Product Review:
Outstanding electro-acoustic concrète classic. If you’ve just copped the new Valerio Tricoli album for PAN and want to get some historical perspective, you need to hear this! Mastered by Rashad Becker...
“When Xenakis, who had fought against the occupation as part of the communist resistance, moved to Paris in 1947, it was the start of a highly creative and impressive career. Xenakis not only studied composition with Messiaen and became one of the most innovative composers of the 20th century, he also worked as assistant to Le Corbusier and worked on the Philips Pavilion for the World Exhibition in Brussels 1958.
His compositions were often based on mathematical principles, which give his music an unprecedented aesthetic and “shocking otherness” (The Guardian). The most famous works of Xenakis are his compositions for orchestra Metastasis, Pithoprakta and Terretektorh (where the 88 musicians were spread within the audience) and the electroacoustic compositions Persepolis, Concret PH, Bohor and La Légende d’Eer where he integrated his stochastic synthesis sounds for the first time.
As legendary as this piece itself is the impenetrable thicket of versions and stories around La Légende d’Eer - it exists in different releases, wrong sample rates, digitized backwards … this now is a new version, using the 8-track-version that Xenakis himself presented at Darmstädter Ferienkurse in august 1978.
As the automatic spatialization is lost, this became the only original version of this composition and is presented here (mixed down to stereo by Martin Wurmnest who tried to preserve the spatial movements as perceptible as possible, and then mastered by Rashad Becker at D&M) for the very first time.
La Légende d’Eer not only became a milestone of electroacoustic music but is also an important reference for noise and industrial musicians up to the present day”
