I did not get to know Xenakis myself, but many people who studied and
worked with him. Regarding his electronic music, there is an anecdote told
by Takemitsu, were he observed that in spite of having planned many things
very meticulously, he would then listen to parts and change things on the
spot.

Anyway, you probably might know this, but here you can check his book
"Formalized Music" which describes some of his ways of working over the
years:
