MICHEL WAISWISZ 1949 - 2008 Performing "Hands"

From STEIM message:

Michel Waisvisz died peacefully in his home on Wednesday June 18 after fighting the mean cells in his body for the last eight months.

He was born on the 8th of July 1949 and lead STEIM as Director for 27 years. He left us on a day when artists and friends from around the world gathered downstairs to perform for a full-house season-closing concert.

Michel was a musician, visionary and occasional gardener - touched by sound and forever happy to be surprised. He was the source of an enormous surge of energy that continues to flow through STEIM into the world.

We will miss his touch, crackle, inspiration and constant improvisation of the now.

OUR DEEPEST CONDOLENCES TO MICHEL'S FAMILY AND TO STEIM TEAM

Michel was gentle and always curious about my work when I was an artist in residence at STEIM.
He was an inspiration and always willing to have a good conversation. In my last visit to STEIM in March, he was to kind to concede an interview that I have not finished because sound problems.
This is the great material that he gave me and I place it as an homage.
