I just received an email from the Royal College of Music's KeyNote emailing list, announcing what's probably going to be the creamiest crop of the season. The concert features a couple percussive pieces from Iannis Xenakis, Greek engineer by education, architect by profession, turned composer after a period working in the workshop of French architect supreme Le Corbusier. His compositions merge stochastic processes and architectural forms into complex amalgamations of sound events to challenge even the most open minded listener.
