Igor Wakhévitch



Igor Wakhévitch was born in France, but his name seems very Russian to me. His music is ingenious, not quite classical but not quite electronic either. He is a master of ambience + weird submelodies connected to hanuting boy's choirs in addition to synthesizers. Wakhévitch is generally considered one of the most revered of all avant-garde electronic artists in the 70s. This music is ORIGINAL and FANTASTIC. He produced a short burst of albums in the 70s. The sad part about all of this is that he hasn't been heard of since :\ .



Interesting info: Igor Wakhévitch studied the piano under the guidance of the composer Olivier Messiaen. He spent a short period at the GRM of Pierre Scheaffer in 1968. He discovered Maurice Bejart, met Pink Floyd and Soft Machine, worked with Terry Riley and composed the music of the Opera-Poem by Salvador Dali "Etre Dieu" in 1974.
