89 years isn't a bad innings though.

Maybe this could be played at his funeral - the final section ("Mort") of Variations pour une porte et un soupir https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQa4xOH2HOk

Much beautiful work in his output, spanning the entire history of electronic music.

I'm afraid I only know him for his critically derided 'collaboration' with Spooky Tooth.
