Michel Fano

Michel Fano (born 9 December 1929)[1] is a French musician, composer, writer, filmmaker, and sound designer.

He developed the concept of continuum sonore to describe the potential for a film's soundtrack to interact with its visual content.

[2][3] During the early 1950s, he was part of a generation of composers associated with the Darmstadt School, and was a lifelong friend of Pierre Boulez.

From 1962 until 1975, he regularly collaborated with Alain Robbe-Grillet on cinematic projects, creating partitions sonores (or "sound-scores") for five of Robbe-Grillet's films.

[4][5][6] The following are Fano's acknowledged compositions; numerous works of juvenilia and works-in-progress also exist.
