John Watermann
John Watermann (born February 19, 1935, in Berlin as Johannes Wassermann; died April 2002 in Brisbane, Australia) was a composer, performer and filmmaker. Much of his musical work incorporated field recordings, which were heavily treated by electronics, resulting in highly rhythmic music, through the extensive use of cut ups.
