Abstract
This book arose out of international collaborations arranged for the occasion of the centenary year of Iannis Xenakis in 2022. Its remarkable breadth mirrors and examines the interests and international influence of the composer, one of the leading figures of the European post-war avant-garde, and a significant initiator of what have since become defining fields in twenty-first century aesthetics and musical thought. The relationship of Xenakis’s style and technique to mathematics, semiotics, architecture, computer design and the fledgling field of AI are all addressed, together with the impact that these factors in his philosophy and output have had on a range of international movements in music, technology and the arts.
