Abstract

As a composer and theorist, Iannis Xenakis has raised the level and quality of mathematics involved in music to unprecedented heights. He inspired generations of composers and also stimulated research and development in the theory of music. The present paper explores how influential some of his ideas have proved to be in numerous domains.
