Pendragon Press is proud to offer this new, revised, and expanded edition of Formalized Music, Iannis Xenakis's landmark book of 1971. In addition to three totally new chapters examining recent breakthroughs in music theory, two original computer programs illustrating the actual realization of newly proposed methods of composition, and an appendix of the very latest developments of stochastic synthesis as an invitation to future exploration, Xenakis offers a very critical self-examination of his theoretical propositions and artistic output of the past thirty-five years. This edition of Formalized Music is an essential tool for understanding the man and the thought processes of one of this century's most important and revolutionary musical figures.

Formalised music
It's hard to rate this book really since I can't say I understand the math heavy sections, which is to say about 80% of the book. I very much like Xenakis' music as well as his general philosophy to music. My critique is the minimalist one, that I would prefer the music to demonstrate simply one mathematical concept in a audible way. In some of his pieces I hear the general concept being played out: sound clouds, sound masses evolving. But as a composer there are no techniques outlined here that I can use.
