The latest works by legendary poet and musician HENRI CHOPIN, a key figure of the French avant-garde during the second half of the 20th century, especially the 1950s through the 1970s. Known primarily as a concrete and sound-poetry pioneer, he has also worked as graphic artist and designer, typographer, independent publisher, filmmaker, broadcaster and arts promoter; his use of early tape recorders and studio technologies, and the sounds of the manipulated human voice—with their focus on the relationship of balance between order and chaos—serves as a reminder that language stems as much from oral traditions as from classic literature.
