    Overview

    The JACK Quartet launches Xenakis Day with Ergma, a typicallyuncompromising study in homophony, before its individual membersperform a group of sonorous solo scores and the hauntingHunem-Iduhey, with its opening study in non-vibrato tones. Themusical material of ST/4–1, 080262 was generated by a seriesof compositional algorithms and shaped by Xenakis into a work ofintense drama.
