Les Percussions de Strasbourg perform this drum piece, written for them in '79, with Xenakis in attendance. Stochastic (that's Xenakis-speak for 'I drew up a probability graph & used it as the score') distribution of little instruments that's meant to recall a lovely cluster of distant stars. There's also a short work by Maki Ishii that's meant to mesh chance marimba sounds with regular rhythm, with a view to some sort of East meets West theme. Jean Pierre Bedoyan, Jean Paul Bernard, Guillaume Blaise, Christian Hamouy, Keiko Nakamura, Vincent Vergnais, Keiko Abe. Tracklisting: Pleiades (Melanges, Metaux, Claviers, Peaux), Concertante Op. 79.
