Iannis Xenakis quotes
Iannis Xenakis was a Greek-French composer, architect, and music theorist known for his pioneering use of mathematical concepts in music. His innovative compositions blended avant-garde techniques with complex structures inspired by architecture and science. He influenced generations of artists by expanding the boundaries of contemporary classical music. Here are 3 of his quotes:
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.
