Documentary, Music

This is a documentary film on the life and work of the composer Iannis Xenakis, the “architect of sound”, whose visionary work reconciles art with science. The film develops in such a way to show how Xenakis’ philosophy, architectural experience, mathematics and political background morph into music and how physical phenomena are transformed into musical expression.
