Michel Redolfi

Michel Redolfi (b. Dec 8, 1951) is a French electroacoustic composer and experimental musician from Marseille, best known for his groundbreaking concept of 'underwater music'. In 1969, he co-founded GMEM (Groupe de musique expérimentale de Marseille) with Marcel Frémiot and Georges Boeuf.

Redolfi moved to the USA in 1973, where he worked as a guest resident at several major computer music research centers including Bregman Digital Music Studio at Dartmouth College, University of Wisconsin-Madison studios, and California Institute Of The Arts. During his time in the US, he collaborated with prominent composers and musicians such as Terry Riley, Jon Hassell, Daniel R. Harris, Steve Shehan, and John Cage.

From 1977 to 1984, Michel Redolfi conducted pioneering research on liquid environment music broadcasting at UC San Diego's Center For Music Experiment through his Project WET – Water Electronically Tuned. Inspired by American natural landscapes, some of his albums were created during this period.

After returning to France in the late 1980s, Redolfi served as the director of Centre International De Recherche Musicale (CIRM) in Nice from 1987 to 1998 while also leading the contemporary music festival MANCA (Musiques Actuelles Nice-Côte d'Azur). He
