Pierre Henry, pioneer of electronic music, dies at 89
French electronic music star Jean-Michel Jarre led the tributes to Henry, which he said had opened the way for his own music.
"He wasn't just a musician and an innovator, he was a poet. All his life he tried to bring about a fusion between experimentation and poetry," Jarre told AFP.
"He leaves behind an enormous and impressive body of work, and I hope France grants him the homage that he deserves."
