Gérard Grisey

Gérard Grisey (born 1946; died November 11, 1998) was a French composer of contemporary music. He studied with Olivier Messiaen at the Conservatoire of Paris, where he obtained the Prix de Rome. His music is often considered to belong to the genre of  music, although he later disowned the label in interviews and writings. Nonetheless, he spent much of his career exploring the spectrum of tone colour between harmonic overtones and noise. In addition, he was fascinated by musical processes which unfold slowly, and he made musical time a major element of many of his pieces. Truly beautiful work, give this masterpiece a listen.
