Great composition ! You can hear some of the influences but they are blended into something very unique to Vivier. He should certainly be better known.
first half sounds a lot like Varese; love the brass from 9:20 onwards though (echoes of which can be heard in John Adams Harmonielehre). 11:40> also reminds me of Messiaen. But the 'he...o' is brilliant, so haunting, especially the second time..
Yeah,someone else said it was a suicide on an upload of one of his other songs and wikipedia said it might be because he was gay but I think it was drugs. Guy was known for weird time signatures and being really avant gaurde and all that shit and he didn't die by his own hand nor did anyone ever come out or did word ever get out which often happens when there's a hate crime. They didn't leave anything behind etc from what I can tell so a decisive message was never sent and it's not like he was a mainstream celebrity or anything of the like that the general public would know about. That's just my ten cents though. He wss openly gay and also known for talking about suicide in his work so those are probably more popular theories for those reasons aswell mind you. He seems like he was high profile enough that killing him would be risky but not high profile enough that paying someone to do it would be worth a lot of money and it's not like they did anything to sign it was a hate crime which is often what happens with hate crimes so neither of those totally ad up to me plus I feel like they would have attacked someone higher profile first. What's more likely given his work in my mind is that he owed it for drugs.
Vivier was one of the greats :(
Yes

Interesting music. Apparently he was murdered back in the 80s.
