RIP Bernard Parmegiani - Electronic & Acoustic Composer

Marc-Henri (aka RADIOKLOW) wrote in to let me know electronic acoustic composer Bernard Parmegiani has passed away at the age of 86. He was mentioned here on MATRIXSYNTH a few times in the past.

The above image is from conceptoradio where you'll find a feature on him in Spanish. The following is some of the text translated to Googlish:

"Editions Mego is refocusing on the work of Bernard Parmegiani under his Recollection GRM series. reissued it "De Natura Sonorum" album first published in 1975 and probably one of the most important works of the French composer. This work consists of twelve movements, constituted in two series of six, combining analogue sounds with electronics, and is a true reflection of his studies at the Research Group Concrete Music (GRM) of Pierre Schaeffer. This work was also inspired by artists such as Aphex Twin or Autechre, since, as well quote the press release, 'has indelibly marked the classical period of electroacoustic music.'"

Bernard Parmegiani: De Natura Sonorum (1975)

Published on Jun 3, 2012 TheWelleszTheatre·1,789 videos

"Bernard Parmegiani (*1927): De Natura Sonorum (1975).
Création 3 Juin 1975, Paris.
Dédié a Michel Descombey et au Ballet Indépendiente de Mexico."

You can find a bio on Wikipedia here.

via Marc-Henri: "By a strange mystery of time, the INA-GRM has just released a few days ago a new version of his most important works in CD. Bernard Parmegiani was not so famous as Pierre Henry (still living and now around 85 years) but of the same artistic level in a very different style."

Percussa AudioCubes Featured in The Denver Post

"Bert Schiettecatte holds up an AudioCube as he demonstrates its use for a music class at STEM Magnet Lab in Northglenn. (Seth McConnell | YourHub)"

It's great to see synth gear featured like this. via The Denver Post where you'll find the full article.

"Since he was a young boy, Bert Schiettecatte has always allowed his passions to consume him completely. His first passion was Lego building blocks...

'I combined my two favorite things: musical instruments and Legos,' Schiettecatte said.

Like glowing Rubik's Cube robots, the AudioCubes are smart, wireless blocks that come in sets of four and are programmed to play music by sensing the location of other blocks or objects. Users plug one block into their computer and point different sides of the remaining blocks at it. A system of lights and sensors trigger the devices to combine beats and sounds into a rhythm."
