Principles of Indeterminism
An Evening from Score to Code


Brucknerhaus
09.09. 19:30

Iannis Xenakis was a visionary composer and architect, whose artistic credo was “Principle of Indeterminism.” His ideas are the leitmotiv of this unusual concert and performance event: an evening that begins in the 1950s and uses a compelling combination of live music and real-time graphics to point the way to the future of digital art.
The evening's program features intense sensory input dedicated to the principle of transformation and metamorphosis—from analog to electronic to digital sound; from orchestra to live electronics and digital sound synthesis; from composed to programmed music; from sound into image.
