"
Iannis Xenakis (1922 –2001) was a Greek composer, music theorist, and
architect-engineer. After 1947, he fled Greece, becoming a naturalized citizen of France. He is commonly recognized as one of the most important post-war avant-garde composers. Xenakis pioneered the use of mathematical models in music such as applications of
set theory,
stochastic processes and
game theory and was also an important influence on the development of
electronic music. He integrated music with architecture, designing music for pre-existing spaces, and designing spaces to be integrated with specific music compositions and performances." -
