The rules are simple: whoever correctly identifies the most recent "unknown" follows w/ a picture of an Avant-Garde / Experimental musician of their own choosing, and it continues in this manner. If no follow-up picture is posted within an hour of the previous image's identification, anyone may post an image.

I'll start. Who's this Avant-Garde musician?

that's a hard one, any clues? I'm sure Geoff would know.

Well, I suppose a big hint would be that he's the father of one of the most important musical developments of the past century.

...and he's French...

...and his first composition dates around 1948...

...and he died in 1995...

...does that help at all? :tongue:

Come on...nobody?

ya know, i was thinking it was Pierre Schaeffer, but I wasn't sure...

You got it!

Your turn, Equinox

a small picture, but a good one, this guy is known in the musique concrete thought as well. Also, a Frenchman, this one should be relatively easy.

I'm going to say...Pierre Henry?

Well, I'm about 95% sure that I'm right, so I'll go ahead w/ another one:

I suppose I'll continue the Musique Concrète theme w/ this guy -- who's is this Avant-Gardist:

that looks like a young Karlheinz Stockhausen
