Xenakis e il “circolo granulare”

Abstract

Many ways start from or go through Xenakis. One of these ways is the granular paradigm. In this paper, I will start from Xenakis, suggesting that, in his aesthetic, this approach is a “theory” in the ancient meaning of the word, and searching for the constituent elements of this “vision”. Then, I will try to incorporate the granular paradigm into a musical historicity, searching for his becoming inside other aesthetics, in particular with Horacio Vaggione’s and Agostino Di Scipio’s music.
