Greece finally pays tribute to Iannis Xenakis 

Source: The Guardian.

He was the high priest of 20th-century modernity, a founding father of electronic music, a pioneer of multi-faceted talent. Where others feared to tread Iannis Xenakis stepped, breaking the boundaries of sound, employing mathematical formulae – game theory included – to compose what had never been heard before.

And yet it has taken more than 20 years since his death in Paris, the place to which he fled after narrowly surviving a British tank shell in the clashes that preceded Greece’s brutal civil war, for Xenakis to be properly feted in the country of his origin.
