Publisher's Synopsis

 Describes the creative energy of two highly respected 20th century artists, Iannis Xenakis both as engineer and composer, and Roger Reynolds, Pulitzer prize winning musician in 1989
 Will appeal to the professional sector of musicians and architects, and students in both of these disciplines
 Connects the creative path of architecture and music, i.e., Xenakis' treatment of "light" in an architectural context parallels his use of varying textural density in his music.
 Analyzes chamber works Achorripsis, Thallein, and his string quartet, Tetras, which pertain to the interactive house design
