May 29 would be his 86th birthday. He is a composer, architect, and scientist - one of the most important artist of the 20th century, and my great hero.
I sometimes wonder, what I would be doing, what I would listen, and what I would think about art and music - if he didn't exist or I didn't know about him. Having this wonder, terrifies me.
"...really great music combines peace and struggle, serenity and pain... to escape from the trivial cycle of relationships in music, the musician, the artist, must be absolutely independent, which means absolutely alone." - Iannis Xenakis
Iannis Xenakis - Metastasis (1953-1954), for orchestra of 61 instrumentalists
