The architect/mathematician turned composer, Iannis Xenakis, was Gresham Professor of Music between 1975 to 1978, and died in 2001. Professor Xenakis was the 20th century's best example of a creator who linked these disciplines at the highest level. This lecture will be about Xenakis and the mathematical links between music and architecture. Jonathan Cole is a composer and a professor of composition at the Royal College of Music.
