On the one hand, we will refer to the main&lt;br&gt;domains of Xenakis’ contributions to Music Technology: the conquest of the computer as a tool for logical&lt;br&gt;transformations of symbols into music and a laboratory of automation for certain compositional tasks on meta-musical&lt;br&gt;and compositional design issues; his pedagogical and compositional approach by the sound-design system UPIC as an&lt;br&gt;interface between musician and machine; his granular approaches of sound synthesis as a link between algorithms and&lt;br&gt;the creation of new sounds; the multi-sensoring approach of the conception of Polytopes where he combines various&lt;br&gt;technological tools in order to achieve a kind of a total art work.&lt;br&gt;On the other hand, we will exalt the impact of his research in current music technology (use of the granular model in&lt;br&gt;modern synthesizers, the marriage between sound and light in modern interactive performances, the design of new userfriendly&lt;br&gt;tools for the music education, etc).&lt;br&gt;At the same time, we will discuss in which way many of the headmasters of computer music research have been&lt;br&gt;profoundly affected by Xenakis’ technological and epistemological approach.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
