--> very sad news.

Henri Chopin, explorer of the body's voices (1922-2008). For the last forty years, with his sound poetry revue OU (1964-1974), then through his participation in various international sound poetry festivals, through his personal experience in the experimental studios of radio stations in Köln, Paris, Australia, Canada or Sweden and in his concert/performances throughout Europe, Henri Chopin has consistently and unceasingly opened the ways to unexplored spaces beyond all known languages. Thanks to the systematic use of microphones, amplifiers, tape recorders, editing and mixing consoles, he has given a voice to realms beyond modern or experimental music, beyond any note system and headed for spaces without norms, categories, definitions or limits: spaces of permanent metamorphosis.

I did not enjoy reading this blog - sometimes that button is unfortunate.

Yeah I saw this on ubu.com a few days ago

He'll be missed, for sure.

He was a huge inspiration for my live performance, this is definitely sad.

somehow he passed me by, and not he is dead. interesting stuff. it seems he influenced my liveset too, and yet i had never heard of him before
