Xenakis Creates in Architecture and Music: The Reynolds Desert House

* Describes the creative energy of two highly respected 20th century artists, Iannis Xenakis both as engineer and composer, and Roger Reynolds, Pulitzer prize winning musician in 1989
* Will appeal to the professional sector of musicians and architects, and students in both of these disciplines
* Connects the creative path of architecture and music, i.e., Xenakis’ treatment of light in an architectural context parallels his use of varying textural density in his music.
* Analyzes chamber works Achorripsis, Thallein, and his string quartet, Tetras, which pertain to the interactive house design
