A bit off-topic for some, perhaps, but I hope of interest anyway.

About Pousseur
Henri Pousseur was born in Malmédy, Belgium in 1929 and studied music
at the conservatoires in Liège and Brussels. From the 1950s he was
actively involved in radical serial music working closely with
Stockhausen, Berio and Boulez. He later devoted much energy into
integrating syntactical and stylistic elements previously excluded
from such music into his own musical language. He has written over
two hundred scores for every kind of performance mode - solo,
ensemble and electroacoustic.
