Polytope XXI: Xenakis concert tribute video now online

March 23, 2023

The winners of CIRMMT Agile Seed funding award, Myriam Boucher, Dominic Thibault and Fabrice Marandola, have just released a video of their award-winning project, performed by Sixtrum!

Polytope XXI is a tribute concert to Iannis Xenakis (1922-2001), architect, engineer and composer, who wrote some of the most significant works for percussion of the 21st century. It is also the name that composers Myriam Boucher and Dominic Thibault have given to their project of a monumental instrument, a sort of giant audio-luminous harp augmented by electroacoustics.

The project was presented and premiered during CIRMMT's Le son du futur/Le futur du son conference, in May 2022.

The video is available on Sixtrum's YouTube channel.
