World-renowned composer, Pierre Botte Élastique, at work on his latest composition ‘Quelle était la profondeur de ma moustache’ or ‘How Deep Was My Moustache’ for piano and flute.
The Belgian composer, Pierre Botte Élastique, was inspired by everyday - one might say, banal objects, claiming that he could hear the tune of any object if he placed his hand upon it.
Botte Élastique: ‘Each object sings to me with its own song. I exist merely to interpret their message.’
Critics dismissed this as sheer twaddle.
Pierre Botte Élastique also composed The Well-Tempered Clavicle, an ode to his collar bone which he had broken whilst attempting to tune it so that it would not be ‘out of tune’ with his piano.
