Bernard Heidsieck (1928-2014) was a French pioneer of sound poetry, and as can be seen in this work he has combined the individual letters of the alphabet with musical staves to create an expanded musical & visual sound composition.
Bernard Heidsieck was born in Paris in 1928. A graduate of the Istituto Politico, he is the deptuy-manager of a large Parisian bank. He has been interested in sound poetry since 1955 and since 1962 in action-poetry. In 1955 the first "Poèmes-Partitions" and after 1959 use of the tape-recorder as a means of composition and retransmission. Between 1966 and 1969 he composed 13 "Biopsies", since 1969 23 "Passepartout."
