- Summary:
- The life story of Xenakis (1922-2001) is that of a genius who triumphed over adversity to become not only a leading composer, but also an architect of renown. His music is rooted in a sub-soil of mathematics, architecture, science and the drama of his personal history. Filmed on the Greek island where he grew up and in his Paris studio, Xenakis is seen talking about his life and his music, which not only speaks for itself in specially-recorded performances, but is linked to the other sources of his creativity by an inventive use of images.
