I'm sure he at least wouldn't mind 4'33" ;-)

Along these lines I was very surprised to find that a professor who was 
sitting in on a computer science seminar with me was actually a pupil of 
Xenakis.  He had some amusing stories to tell about how Xenakis once 
cleared out an entire concert hall save for three of his students 
(including the professor) in the front row.

I was also lucky enough to hear a good reproduction of La Légende d'Eer 
in an actual concert a couple of years ago.  My girlfriend who I'd 
dragged to the event was somewhat less enthusiastic.
