Iannis Xenakis - Metastasis

Metastasis or Metastaseis ("dialectic transformations"), is an orchestral work by Iannis Xenakis, a Greek composer-architect and a major figure in the postwar development of musical modernism worldwide. He is particularly remembered for the pioneering use of stochastic mathematical techniques in his compositions, including probability (Maxwell-Boltzmann kinetic theory of gases, aleatory distribution of points on a plane, minimal constraints, Gaussian distribution, Markov chains), game theory, group theory, Boolean algebra and Brownian motion. Metastasis was inspired by Einstein's view of time (a function of matter & energy) and structured on mathematical ideas by Xenakis's colleague Le Corbusier. The 1st and 3rd movements don't have a melodic theme to hold them together, but rather depend on the strength of this conceptualization of time. The 2nd movement does have some sort of melodic element. A fragment of a 12-tone row is used, with durations based on the Fibonacci sequence (1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34...) The preliminary sketch for Metastasis was in graphic notation looking more like a blueprint than a musical score, showing graphs of mass motion and glissandi like structural beams of the piece, with sound frequencies on one axis and time on the other. In this video I tried to display this by presenting the frequency spectrum (0-20.000Hz) of the piece and how Xenakis actually "drew" music.

Soma Holiday - Art Dimension The video, entirely created with a 1984 kid's computer, was offered to the band by the New York-based artist and computer wiz Dov Jacobson. When they entered Shakedown recording studios in Manhattan to put the final touch to their 3 song EP, Soma Holiday and producer Eric Dufaure decided to keep the bare feel of the original "Art Dimension" demo in order to stick as close as possible to the unique live performances of the duo.

JOHN DOWLAND - In Darkness Let Me Dwell

In darkness let me dwell; the ground shall sorrow be, The roof despair, to bar all cheerful light from me; The walls of marble black, that moist'ned still shall weep; My music, hellish jarring sounds, to banish friendly sleep. Thus, wedded to my woes, and bedded in my tomb, O let me living die, till death doth come, till death doth come.

My dainties grief shall be, and tears my poison'd wine, My sighs the air, through which my panting heart shall pine: My robes my mind shall suit exceeding blackest night, My study shall be tragic thoughts, sad fancy to delight. Pale ghosts and frightful shades shall my acquaintance be: O thus, my hapless joy, I haste to thee, I haste to thee.
