[cmath] Random Walks: Music of Xenakis and Beyond

[Andrea MacLeod]

RANDOM WALKS: MUSIC OF XENAKIS AND BEYOND
Celebrating the Music and Legacy of Iannis Xenakis

May 24-25, 2013 in Toronto and Waterloo

The Fields Institute, together with the Perimeter Institute and the
Institute for Quantum Computing in Waterloo present a two-day festival of
contemporary string quartet, percussion, and electroacoustic music, together
with lectures and discussion on the impact of Xenakis's work.

Iannis Xenakis was one of the most intriguing and influential composers of
the 20th century. As one of the pioneers of computer music, Xenakis explored
algorithmic approaches to composition and was known for expanding sound
worlds of traditional ensembles, especially his expansive use of percussion
instruments. His works and ideas have inspired generations of composers
since.

The festival features the JACK Quartet, TorQ Percussion, the McGill and
University of Toronto Percussion Ensembles, as well as a concert of
electroacoustics, video, and robotic performers.
