Life
Life
Born in Dijon, Guézec studied music at the Conservatoire de Paris with Darius Milhaud, Jean Rivier and Olivier Messiaen. He also worked with Iannis Xenakis. His very personal language is influenced by the techniques of modern painting, in particular those of Mondrian and Vasarely. His research led him to compose works in which the contrasts of sound materials and a very original sense of colour dominate, as evidenced by the title of his works. From 1969 to 1971, he held an analysis class at the Conservatoire de Paris until his early death at the age of 36 in Paris. Xenakis dedicated his 1971 composition Charisma to Guézec.
