Franco Battiato

As a student of Karlheinz Stockhausen , Franco Battiato was enthusiastic about electronic music, and found his voice as a minimalist composer who combined avant-garde minimalism , experimental rock , and popular forms into a strange hybrid of abstract sound that touches on Kraut-like passages.
