Commissioned by the Persian Shah, the piece was part of a multimedia performance – Xenakis's so-called \"polytopes\" – which premiered in 1971 in Shiraz-Persepolis (Iran) as a performance including light-tracks, laser beams, groups of children walking around with torches, and 59 loudspeakers to project the music in an open-air situation. Xenakis had realized \u003cem\u003ePersepolis\u003c\/em\u003e on 8-track analog tape in the Studio Acusti in Paris and released a stereo reduction on vinyl in the famous Philips series \"Prospective 21e Siècle\" in 1972, adding the new subtitle \"We bear the light of the earth\", his most hymnal title ever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOut of print for decades now, the LP became one of the most expensive collector's items of electroacoustic music. The Perihel series now presents a new version: mixed from the original master 8-track tapes by longtime zeitkratzer sound engineer Martin Wurmnest and mastered and cut by Rashad Becker at Dubplates \u0026amp; Mastering, Berlin.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Karlrecords","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50955744477241,"sku":"gnv1793063927971","price":13.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/6617\/5289\/files\/iannis-xenakis---persepolis-lp_1.jpg?v=1793063940","url":"https:\/\/doggydoors.shop\/products\/iannis-xenakis-persepolis-lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
