Noise for Airports

A composition by Iannis Xenakis, Pleaides was originally commissioned for Les Percussions de Strasbourg, to premiere at the Opera du Rhin in May 1979. A sextet for percussion, it is here performed by the Yale Percussion Group.

I’ve embedded the first video of seven above. Think how nice it would be to have a little avant-garde percussion concert right now at your desk! (Click the via link below to listen to the rest.)

modus operandi

“To treat a plan - or any other form of prescriptive representation - as a speciﬁcation for a course of action shuts down precisely the space of inquiry that begs for investigation; that is, the relations between an ordering device and the contingent labors through which it is produced and made reﬂexively accountable to ongoing activity.” –Lucy Suchman, Human-Machine Reconfigurations

"Is it our fault if the networks are simultaneously real, like nature, narrated, like discourse, and collective, like society? Are we to pursue them while abandoning all the resources of criticism, or are we to abandon them while endorsing the common sense of the critical tripartition?" –Bruno Latour,
We Have Never Been Modern
