"Michel Waisvisz died peacefully in his home last night after fighting the mean cells in his body for the last eight months.He was born on the 8th of July 1949 and lead STEIM as Director for 27 years. He left us on a day when artists and friends from around the world gathered downstairs to perform for a full-house season-closing concert.
Michel was a musician, visionary and occasional gardener - touched by sound and forever happy to be surprised. He was the source of an enormous surge of energy that continues to flow through STEIM into the world.
We will miss his touch, crackle, inspiration and constant improvisation of the now.

ReplyDeleteI didn't know this. Thank you for making me aware. I LOVE the 'Crackle' album - not only did he create the crackle box he was it's master.
