I was very sad indeed to learn only this morning of the death of Jean-Claude Risset, on November 21st, at the age of 78.
His funeral is taking place this afternoon (November 26th) , in Marseilles.

I last saw him in Paris in January, when he gave a wonderful diffusion of /Sud/ in a concert celebrating the music produced in the former Digital Studio (123) of the Groupe de Recherches Musicales.
A rare person and personality, valued both for his formative research contributions and for the distinctive expressiveness of his music.
