We’re pleased to announce the long-awaited release of “Iannis Xenakis: A Moving Father,” written by Mâkhi Xenakis, his daughter.

Not simply a biography of the composer, mathematician, and architect Iannis Xenakis (1922-2001), this book is a tapestry of anecdotes, insights, and previously unseen documents that offer a profound glimpse into the private world of a musical genius. It is filled with documents from the family archives that allow the reader to understand the development of his work: family photographs and portraits, work diaries, scores, plans…

Extensive use is also made of quotes from Xenakis, taken from his correspondence and interviews. The family dramas and historical traumas that shaped his extraordinary personality and underpinned his creative vision are revealed in this retrospective look at his life.
