Henri Chopin - Dynamisme intégral (1973)

"Henri Chopin (1922, Paris, France -- January 3, 2008, England, United Kingdom) is an avant-garde poet and musician. Henri Chopin is a little-known but key figure of the French avant-garde during the second half of the 20th century. Known primarily as a concrete and sound poet, he created a large body of pioneering recordings using early tape recorders, studio technologies and the sounds of the manipulated human voice. His emphasis on sound is a reminder that language stems as much from oral traditions as from classic literature, of the relationship of balance between order and chaos."

There are two entirely different LP releases bearing the title 'Audiopoems' (one from 1971, and the other from 1980)

This track is from 1980 tape: http://www.discogs.com/release/250466
