Bernard Parmegiani

Bernard Parmegiani was an acousmatic composer and monument in the experimental music scene. With his abstract electronic soundscapes he inspires countless contemporary musicians and composers. Pieces like 'De Natura Sonorum' and 'La Création du Monde' from the 70s and 80s still sound incredible relevant for our times and outclass a very large part of the contemporary music scene in terms of inventiveness and range.
