Henri Pousseur

Belgian contemporary composer Henri Pousseur wrote more than 100 works in a number of styles, and served being a music educator for many decades. By enough time he was completed along with his music research in the first ’50s, Pousseur had been energetic in avant-garde music, inspired by and creating music not really unlike that of Stockhausen and Berio. Pousseur’s functions included serial music, experimental operas like “Electre” (1961), and digital music such as for example “Scambi” (1957). He started his longstanding cooperation with Michel Butor in the first ’60s; the duo continued to create over 20 functions, including “La Rose Des Voix” (1982). Pousseur founded the Center de recherches et de development musicales de Wallonie in Liège, the newspaper Marsyas, and trained in a number of countries (but mainly at the School and Conservatory of Liège) until his pension in 1994.
