For my master thesis I examin different approaches in aleatoric music. I 
have come to notice conciderable common points between Cage and Xenakis. I 
also know that Xenakis liked and supported the music of Cage (even when 
other composers, e.g. Boulez, ceased to do so). I don't know much of how 
Cage viewd the music of Xenakis. I just read an interesting article though:
http://people.mills.edu/toda/chance/frames.html

Also, similar references are made in Agostino Di Scipio's french article 
published in "Iannis Xenakis, Gerard Grisey - La metaphore lumiseuse".

Do you know any other sources pointing to what Cage though of this, or about 
this filiation in general?
