CD ReviewsA mixed bag Eric Grunin | New York, NY USA | 07/30/2001 (3 out of 5 stars) "Gendy3 is 18+ minutes of synthesized sound. It was "written" by a program called GENDYN, which Xenakis wrote (in BASIC!) as part of his research into algorithmic composition. The result has eleven sections, each 1-2 minutes long, each pretty much a single texture which doesn't evolve in any particular way. The sequence of the eleven sections seems arbitrary. If you like the sound clip on this page, you'll probably like listening to the piece, if not, it may make you run from the room.I find Tauriphanie a more interesting listen. It also uses computer-generated sounds, but this time inspired by the sounds of bulls. This disc is currently the only way to hear these two pieces.Aïs and Thalleïn are fine works, but there's a newer and much stronger performance of Aïs on Timpani."
