FEBRUARY 5, 2001 LOS ANGELES TIMES Obituaries Tannis Xenakis; Avant-Garde Composer By MARK SWED TIMES MUSIC CRITIC Iannis Xenakis, a leading figure in the post War II avant-garde and a composer of some of the most formidably complex works ever written, died Sunday at his home in Paris. The 78-year composer had been in failing health for several years. Xenakis was an uncommonly romantic figure in modern music. Born in Romania to Greek parents, he was blinded in one eye and bore prominent facial scars from five years of fighting in the Greek Resistance during World War II. An engineer, mathematician and architect as well as a composer, he was known not just for making music based on arcane mathematical and scientific theories but also for berating musicians for their lack of scientific sophistication.

He even suggested that musicians, had they been brighter, should have discovered the Third Law of Thermodynamics before physicists did purely from an understanding of musical principles. Xenakis' earliest pieces, written in the 1950s with the help of probability theory, were his most extreme, often supplying every member in the orchestra with a different part, with each one of those parts containing fantastic rhythmic difficulty. Although few in the musical world, or in his audiences, knew exactly what he was up to, Xenakis achieved a sound--almost primeval in its visceral and emotional impact -that was all his own. Later, while still writing complicated works for traditional and electronic instruments, Xenakis seemed less concerned with theory and more with immediacy of expression. And the sheer elemental power of these later works, which often bore a thematic relationship to ancient Greek drama or myth, brought him a fanatical devotion among musicians and audiences.

Claude Hellue of the Assn. of Friends of Xenakis in Paris called the composer, who became a French citizen in 1965, "one of the greatest genuses of the century." Learning of Xenakis' death, French President Jacques Chirac said, "France loses one of its most brilliant artists Xenakis was born May 29, 1922, in Braila, Romania, into a wealthy Greek family. At age 16, he moved to Athens to study music and engineering. But the Italian fascists occupied Greece in 1940 on the day he passed his examinations for the Polytechnic School, which was shut down for a year. By the time it reopened, Xenakis had entered into the armed struggle of the Resistance.

In 1945, he was hit by the tank shell and lost an eye along with part of his face. After the war, Xenakis again resisted the new, totalitarian regime in Greece and was sentenced to death in absentia. After a harrowing escape to Italy and then France, he applied his engineering skills to helping the architect Le Corbusier plan a housing unit in Marseilles. Xenakis spent 12 years working for the famed Modernist, during which time he designed parts of the Indian parliament and general secretariat in Chandigarh. He also was responsible for the Philips Pavilion of the 1958 world fair in Brussels, which was constructed entirely of flat surfaces in the shape of hyperbolic parabolas.

But many of Xenakis' radical Gilbert Trigano; Co-Founder of Club Med From Reuters PARIS-Gilbert Trigano, cofounder of Club Med, which revolutionized vacations with a mix of sun and surf, has died in France. He was 80. Trigano, who died Saturday, pioneered the concept of Club all-inclusive vacations in exotic locations that combined around-theclock entertainment, copious buffets and a reputation for sexual liberalism. France's Secretary of State for Tourism Michelle Demessine on Sunday hailed Trigano as the "father of French tourism." Trigano, who fought with the Resistance during World War II, helped found Club Med in 1950 and became chairman in 1963. "We were young men, survivors of the war.

We made a profession out of offering others what we wanted for ourselves: a chance to discover the sea, to breathe deeply and live healthily," he said recently. But the company's fortunes gradually declined. Trigano and his son Serge quit the resort chain in 1997 after Philippe Bourguignon, the man credited with rescuing Euro Disney, took over management with promise to return Club Med to profit. The low point for the Trigano family came last year, when a French court convicted father and son of manslaughter over a 1992 plane crash that killed 30 holidaymakers in Senegal. Each received an -month suspended jail term and was fined about $4,200.

lannis Xenakis wrote complex ideas in architecture actually grew out of his musical studies and experiments that he simultaneously pursued, working with Olivier Messiaen at the Paris Conservatory. In fact, it was a technique for using probability calculus to manipulate glissandi, or sliding tones, in his first orchestra piece, "Metastasis" in 1953, that was also applied to the hyperbolic parabolas in the Philips Pavilion. In "Metastasis" and the musical works that followed, Xenakis did not think of composition in terms of melodies, rhythms or traditional forms, but as the manipulation of sonic "clouds" and "galaxies." After 1958, Xenakis devoted most of his energies to music, in which he further pursued the uses of probabil- music with mathematical modeling. ity calculus and set theory in instrumental and electronic music. An innovator in his use of the computer to make his musical calculations and draw up his musical models, he also jumped in when the computer began to be used to make actual musical sounds in the early 1960s.

He founded the Centre d'Etudes de Mathematique et Automatique Musicales (CEMAMu) in Paris and was a resident at the electronic studios at Indiana University (where he founded the Center for Musical Mathematics and Automation), UC San Diego and CalArts. Xenakis' catalog of compositions is large. He is best known for orchestral works, some of which were conducted by Leonard Bernstein, Pierre Boulez, Georg Solti and Zubin Mehta with such orchestras as the New York Philharmonic and the Orchestre de Paris. The scores of these pieces are a sight to behold-fantastically notated and enormous in size, overwhelming the eye and the music stand. But the sound of the music.

can be surprisingly coherent and focused to the ear, as the constellations of instruments weave in and out of their complex patterns. The titles of Xenakis pieces are almost as striking as the musical notation, for instance "Persephassa" is Xenakis' own conflation of Persphone, Perseus, Persians, Parsifal and Persepolis. "Kraanerg" is a 75-minute ballet score for orchestra and tape. Other pieces have. names such as "Ikhoor," "Oophaa," "Gmeeoorh" and "Waarg." He was particularly devoted to percussion music, and he also wrote an extensive amount of chamber music, solo pieces and music for the theater.

His electronic music was elaborate, often designed to fill large spaces with dozens of loudspeakers. And despite all the mathematical modeling and electronic experi-' mentation, Xenakis was strongly drawn to the humanistic philosophy and ritual theater of and those elements took increasing hold on his later works. His biographer Nouritza Matossian described him as never having stopped being a Resistance fighter. "'He simply moved his field of battle into music," she wrote. Xenakis is survived by his wife, Francoise, and daughter Makhi.

77242 Los Angeles Times Agence France-Presse Lea's drawing "'The Price" shows soldier in final moments of life. Tom Lea; Artist of Frontier Life, War Also Wrote 2 Novels "My father and Pancho Villa were personal enemies." -Tom Lea By JON THURBER TIMES STAFF WRITER Indeed, they were. Tom Lea could recall the wild days on the Texas border when he had to be escorted to school by police because Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa had threatened to kidnap him. It was the sort of story with historic underpinnings that one expected from Lea, an artist known primarily for his murals and paintings of the American Southwest. But Lea also was an accomplished war artist; novelist and illustrator.

His books "'The Brave Bulls" and "'The Wonderful Country" sold briskly in the early 1950s, and each was made into a successful movie. Last year, Lea's name came to public attention again when President Bush drew from the artistauthor's writings in his acceptance speech for the Republican presidential nomination. died Jan. 29 in El Paso at the age of 93 of injuries sustained in a fall. Born and raised in El Paso, Lea had vivid boyhood recollections of the revolution on the other side of the border and the level of uncertainty it brought to the U.S.

side. Lea also remembered the time that Spanish-language fliers turned up around El Paso offering 1,000 gold pesos for the capture of his father, then the mayor of the city. The bounty offer came from Villa, who was none too pleased when the senior Lea arrested his wife on gunrunning charges. Along with the bounty offer was the threat to kidnap Lea and his younger brother, Joe. As a child, Lea was drawn to drawing.

After high school, he joined the exodus north, landing in Chicago, where he studied at the Art Institute. There, noted. muralist John Warner Norton helped him develop a sense of historic sweep. After a brief stint studying art in Italy, Lea received commissions for murals in several public buildings, including the Benjamin Franklin 1 Post Office in Washington, D.C. His murals depict vast landscapes and reflect the struggles of frontier life.

In the late 1930s, Lea was a commercial artist when he got a commission to illustrate a book by the Texas author J. Frank Dobie. That book, "Apache Gold and Yaqui Silver," was followed by another, "The Longhorns." When World War II broke out, an executive of Life magazine who had seen the Dobie books invited Lea to join the publication as a war artist. Lea readily accepted. Lea traveled more than 100,000 miles covering the war theaters in Europe and the Pacific.

He drew beach landings and naval combat and recorded the everyday activities of men and women in the service. The process was often quite laborious. He made rough sketches on site, often under fire, refined them into polished drawings and then paintings, which Life published. One drawing, "The Price," showed a member of the U.S. First Marine Division on Peleliu, in the final moments of life with blood streaming down the left side of his face and covering his left arm.

Another drawing, "Thousand Yard Stare," showed the hollow-eyed face of a young soldier as a stunning reminder of the psychological costs of warfare. Lea also turned to writing dur- Associated Press Lea with a bust of himself in El Paso. Bush borrowed from the author in a speech last year. ing this time, offering wonderfully descriptive first-person accounts of the combat he witnessed. "I learned sharp grunt prose from the sharp grunt events of Peleliu," he later commented.

After the War, He Wrote Novels After the war, Lea wrote "The Brave Bulls," which was widely acclaimed as a manual on the art of bullfighting. Serialized in Atlantic Monthly, the book has gone through about 30 printings. It was made into a movie starring Mel Ferrer. "The Wonderful Country," Lea's second novel, sold more than a million copies and was made into a film starring Robert Mitchum. Both books were illustrated by Lea.

But as the years passed, Lea focused again on his art. "I wanted to paint more. Writing is kind of a burden to me, which painting is not. I sweat and stew and fight paintings, but I am not overwhelmed, something like I was in writing. I taught myself to write by reading, reading good stuff.

And I have the feeling that my painting is by no means a new contribution to the long train of the history of art or anything. It's a man born in West Texas who's looking at the world as he sees it, with the means he has at hand." Lea's work is displayed in several museums, including the Smithsonian Institution. A gallery at the El Paso Museum of Art bears his name. One of his admirers was Bush, who knew the artist and drew from Lea's autobiography, "A Picture Gallery," in his acceptance speech. Lea wrote of living with a sense that place had an impact on his life, of living "on the east side of the "It's the sunrise side, not the sunset side," Lea wrote.

"It's the side to see the day that is coming, not to see the day that is gone." In his address, Bush said that "Americans live on the sunrise side of the mountain. The night is passing, and we're ready for a new day to come." Lea is survived by his wife, Sarah Dighton Lea; a son, Jim; and a granddaughter.
