Xenakis Electronic Music Vol 1 La Legende d Eer

La légende d'Eer is a powerful 7-channel electro-acoustic composition which Xenakis created in 1977-78 to be played in "Le Diatope", a curvaceous architectural construction designed by the composer, together with a visual component including laser lights. This "multi-media" work was composed for the opening of the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, where it was performed for three months and seen by thousands of people. * This new mix was created by Xenakis' associate Gerard Pape from the original analog master tape, transferred at high-resolution 96khz/24-bit sound for the optimum quality. * Use of the original master tape restored almost 2 minutes and 30 seconds to the piece, released here for the first time. * The performance of La Légende d'Eer is shown with a film by Bruno Rastoin, comprised of 350 stills made during the original performance of the work at the "Diatope". This is the ONLY visual documentation made of the historic event. * 60-minute Interview of Iannis Xenakis by musicologist Harry Halbreich. * 5.1 Surround Sound in Dolby Digital and additional DTS. * Dedicated stereo mix presented in 96-khz/24-bit PCM. * Subtitles: French, German, Spanish. * Playable on ALL NTSC capable DVD decks and computers.
