It’s now just a smidge over seven years since Iannis Xenakis died. And almost exactly 13 years ago, Xenakis sat down for this amicable interview in English:

This is the first ten minutes; its poster, Edward Lawes, promises a second part in the near future. (And if anyone recognises who Xenakis is talking with in the video, fill me in.)

  1. Ive uploaded the whole interview now, I had to make it three parts not two (it was just over 20 minutes).

    The original clip you have linked to here has now been deleted, replaced with a correctly titled version (now says 1 of 3)

    Thanks to Richard for the info about Halbreich, I looked him up (Richard is correct)

    Does anyone know if there is more of this interview? (seems like there should be as it fades out after just over 20mins), and who has a copy of it? (I downloaded it from Stage6, which has now closed down)

    Here are the three links…
