Background: Kraanerg may be one of Xenakis' most popular, and infamous, works for ensemble grouped into woodwinds, brass and strings.The title, Kraanerg, is a composite of two Greek words: 'kraan', meaning to perfect, to accomplish; and 'erg', signifying energy.

The dramatic 4-channel tape is derived from a recording of the orchestra which is transformed and distorted. Its sonic textures kaleidoscopically expand the range of expression while at the same time remaining connected to the instrumental material. Restored for this release from high resolution transfers of the analogue masters by German electronic composer Daniel Teige, revealing greater details in the texture and a wider dynamic range than previously heard on any Kraanerg recording.
