Pierre Henry explores the synthesis between so-called concrete and electronic music, which was a result of his friendship and collaboration with Pierre Schaeffer.
The essence of his innovative and distinctive universe is his eternal quest for new sounds and new methods of composition, which has both evoked wonderful musical (and non-musical) moments and great recognition from an audience interested in art music and classical music. Equally important is the respect Henry enjoys today among a number of artists and musicians currently working with electronic music.
Since 1971, Pierre Henry has lived and worked in one of the few remaining houses of the Picpus quarter in Paris. Henry has never given up and does not seem to be finished with creating, composing and performing music anytime soon.
