The Poeme Electronique premiered at the Brussels Worlds Fair in 1958 in a
building
designed by Xenakis (for LeCorbusier). The building had 480 loudspeakers,
and was
designed as (I think) a hyperbolic paraboloid, the same function being used
also for string
glissandi in Xenakis' Pithoprakta. Imagine the poor farmers who came to
the fair, entered this building
from another planet, and were surrounded by 480 sopranos screeching into
outer space and
480 tribes of ancient Aztec warriors.

Yes, Pithoprakta (strings, trombones, and woodblocks) was written with the
same graph as the building (!), and at around the same time.

I heard the Poem electronique live if such a thing is possible at a Green
Umbrella concert. From what I understand there is only one tape that is slowly
decaying and that It was getting to the point that they may not play it
anymore!

It probably wouldn't be a good idea to use the original.I think the Neuma cd is
digitaly spiffed up.
