Iannis Xenakis' Persepolis stood as witness to one of the most
important events in modern human history, the Iranian Revolution in
1979. Its existence is owed to an invitation to participate in the
1971 Shiraz Arts Festival, which was overseen by Empress Farah
Pahlavi. Like the Festival, and the extravagant celebratory party
held the same year, Xenakis' symbolic paean to Persian history was
polarizing. Many loved it, others detested it. Overwhelming but
also subtle and precise in its non-harmonic shifts in texture and
density, listeners and critics simply did not know what to make of
it. This book tells the story of Xenakis' early history and
involvement in the Resistance against the Axis occupation of Greece
during the Second World War, escape and re-settlement in Paris,
work as an architect with Le Corbusier, and distinct views on world
history and politics that all led to his 1972 electro-acoustic
album Persepolis.
