I guess Xenakis. There's an exhibition in the Philharmonie de Paris this year:
https://www.iannis-xenakis.org/en/2022- ... -in-paris/
The exhibition, which is intended for a wide audience and not only for specialists in contemporary music, aims to put Xenakis’ production into perspective, in his personal history as well as in his visual, literary and musical culture. It also wishes to place the composer in his time and to give an account of the political and cultural movements that have helped define him.
  • 20 musical and architectural opuses, sound installations
  • Numerous original and archival documents: photographs, models, scores and personal documents…
Curators of the exhibition: Mâkhi Xenakis & Thierry Maniguet
Scenography of the exhibition: Jean-Michel Wilmotte

As part of my research 80 years of Electronic music 1939-2021

Iannis Xenakis
1957 Diamorphoses

1962 Bohor



Forefather of Hardcore Electronica of late 80s early 90s. Forefather of Industrial Electronica, Brutalist Electronica starting mid 70's.
Forefather of Cluster, early Cabaret Voltaire, Throbbing Gristle, Front 242, Nitzer Ebb, Einstürzende Neubauten, Foetus, SPK, à;GRUMH.

Horrors of War influenced Xenakis' Electronica as did the desire to distance his Electronica from Classical music.
We can contrast with his Classical Six Chansons for Piano 1951


For Xenakis, Electronica was also a way of expressing the modern world of
construction destruction, machines, technology, architecture.
Xenakis was an architect.

I just watched the documentary. Everything you see in the youtube video is basically everything you see in the program when it comes to JMJs presence.
