“Considered by many to be France’s most important composer of electroacoustic music, it was this wonderfully kind and generous person who first introduced me to contemporary French musical culture. He is a person with keen insight into people and music. I am honored to be one of his friends. For twenty-five years we spoke only French before he would admit that he spoke English as poorly as I speak French!”
