Put simply, you drew on a tablet linked to a computer, which then produced sounds based on an X (duration) and Y (pitch) axis. In the late 70s, Xenakis’ sounds were limited to pretty raw wave forms being run through custom envelopes, but his work on the UPIC still revealed interesting new ways to think about scoring music. Watch the vid and it will all become clear. Mycenae-Alpha (1978), composed by iannis Xenakis on the UPIC system, presents an example of the relationship between graphic image and sonic structure in electroacoustic music.
