Talk:Brion Gysin

message: Firstly, I'll have to apologise because I don't actually know too much about what sounds like a really interesting guy here.  What I do know is that, despite quite a lot of searching I can find no link between Gysin and the BBC Radiophonic Workshop as was previously stated (and, in fact, is repeated on the 60 or so articles copied the material on this page). He did indeed make what would be considered radiophonic works, and the "pistol poem" (which was mentioned in relation to the workshop before i deleted it) was indeed made for the BBC as it says here, so I can understand where the mix-up would come from.  However I can find no evidence he was ever at the Radiophonic Workshop.  If anyone can find any source which states otherwise (and isn't connected to the material on this page) then I truly apologise but for now I thought it was best to get rid of it. I've also deleted a couple of links because they didn't seem to link to anything concerning Gysin.  I've also discussed it for too long on this page!  --Thetriangleguy 19:36, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

message: As Donald Keene tells us in his memoirs, the World War Two Army-courses included first lessons in "grass"-script - after the soldiers had mastered writing their Kanji in "Japanese elementary school"-script, the stuff universities manage not to teach in years. It is interesting to compare Gysin's Japanese-style with the handwritten examples in some, non-infantile, US-textbooks teaching Kanji (Eleanor Harz Jorden).--Radh (talk) 17:47, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

message: comment about his misogyny:
'Nasty  Burroughs proclaimed him a confirmed misogynist, causing Gysin to respond: “Don’t go calling me a misogynist…a mere misogynist. I am a monumental misanthropist. Man is a bad animal…. Me, I AM a compromise, a compromise between the sexes in a dualistic universe.”'

message: I recall listening to an album of flute music, performed inside a very large dome (I assume a mosque); the flautist used the echo in the dome as part of the instrument. It was seriously spacey music. I would like to know more about this album.
At the time, I understood that this music was attributable to Bryon Gysin. BTW, I would like to see some guidance on the correct pronunciation of his name; I have always pronounced it (well, since the mid-seventies) as "Ron Geesin".
