Michèle Bokanowski (born 9 August 1943) is a French composer. She was born in Cannes, and was educated in traditional music. She continued her studies in composition in Paris with Michel Puig and in electronic music in 1970 at the Service de la recherche de l’ORTF (ORTF) directed by Pierre Schaeffer. She also studied computer music at the Faculté de Vincennes and electronic music with Eliane Radigue. After completing her studies, Bokanowski worked as a composer. She married Patrick Bokanowski and often collaborates with him for film, Catheringe Dasté for theater works, and choreographers Hideyuki Yano, Marceline Lartigue and Bernardo Montet for dance.

PROGRAM INFO

Pour un pianiste
Michèle Bokanowski
France / 1973-1974 / 17min 35sec / music-electroacoustique
: This work was commissioned by Gérard Frémy. I wrote the different themes, the patterns and rythmic cells first. Gérard Frémy played them on piano as well as on prepared piano. These recordings gave me the necessary material to create the magnetic tape. All the sounds are issued from the piano with the exception of the opening clavicord clusters. I wrote another version of this work that is for concerts only. In this instance a piano partition is played live along with the magnetic tape. Pour un Pianiste is dedicated to Gérard Frémy.
