Not sure of any good links for Xenakis, but Zorn's record label (Tzadik)
has its own site: <http://www.tzadik.com/>

Zorn is a saxophonist, and part of the New York "downtown" avant-garde
scene, which fuses aspects of free jazz (Ornette Coleman),
abstract-expressionist composition (John Cage, Morton Feldman), and punk
rock. It's something that needs to be heard to be put into any sort of
perspective.
