Henri Chopin

Installation

Henri Chopin was a French sound poet and experimental composer who pioneered audio-visual performance in the postwar era. Working primarily with tape manipulation, vocal distortion, and phonetic abstraction, he created immersive sonic installations that treated the human voice as raw material rather than vessel for language. His practice rejected traditional musical notation and narrative, instead exploring the materiality of sound itself through direct studio intervention and live performance.
