Composer and producer Hector Zazou has died in hospital after he became seriously ill earlier this year. He was sixty years old.
Born Pierre Job in Algeria in 1948, the French musician was renowned for his fusions of avant garde electronica and classical music, and during his career collaborated with the likes of Bjork, Brian Eno, Peter Buck, Suzanne Vega and Siouxsie Sioux.
During the course of a prolific recording career, beginning in 1976, Zazou released or appeared on more than thirty albums. His most recently completed work 'In The House Of Mirrors' is still to be released by his label, Crammed Discs.
