| biography:
| French composer, born in Athens, Greece. From a family of artists, he considered taking up painting, but became inspired by the concrete music of Pierre Schaeffer. In Paris from 1963 he composed works marked by serialism including Bis pour deux orchestres (1968). In 1971 appeared a piece which marks the start of his research into the links between music and the stage, LaTragique histoire du nécromancien followed by over a dozen works which led him towards opera, including La Tour du Babel and Jacques le Fataliste. He helped to create the Atelier Theâtre Musique de Bagnolet in 1976. Among his numerous awards is the Officier des Arts et Lettres (1969). |
