"Terretektorh" is an orchestral composition by the Greek-French composer Iannis Xenakis, completed in 1966. The piece is notable for its spatial arrangement, distributing 88 musicians throughout the audience area, immersing listeners within the orchestral soundscape.[1]
Composition and Structure
[edit]Terretektorh by Iannis Xenakis is designed with musicians placed throughout the audience, creating a surround-sound effect that makes listeners part of the performance, allowing the audience to hear the orchestra from the "inside". Xenakis stated that he sought to create a "Sonotron: an accelerator of sonorous particles."[1]
Performances and Recordings
[edit]Since its premiere, Terretektorh has been performed by various orchestras worldwide. The hr-Sinfonieorchester, conducted by Matthias Pintscher, delivered a live performance in Darmstadt in 2011.[2] The piece has also been recorded by ensembles such as the Orchestre philharmonique de Radio France under Charles Bruck, and the Hague Residentie Orchestra conducted by Arturo Tamayo.[3][4]
