| biography:
| Composer, born in Paris, France. He studied at the Conservatoire with Nadia Boulanger and Messiaen, who familiarized him with the songs of birds and non-European music. He joined the Studio de Musique Electronique of Pierre Schaeffer (1949), with whom he produced Symphonie pour un homme seul (18 March 1950, the first Concrete music concert) and led the Groupe de Recherche de Musique Concrete (1950–8). His Orphée 53, the first Concrete music written for the stage, was applied to the cinema for Jean Gremillon's Astrologie. With Jean Baronnet he created Apsone-Cabasse, the first private studio of electronic music in France. Notable compositions include Messe pour Liverpool (1967–8) for the consecration of Liverpool Cathedral in England. |
