	Brion Gysin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Brion Gysin (January 19, 1916 - July 13, 1986) was a writer and painter.
		Gysin helped Burroughs with the editing of several of his novels, and wrote a script for a film version of Naked Lunch which was never produced.
		A consummate innovator, Gysin altered the cut-up technique to produce what he called permutation poems in which a single phrase was repeated several times, with the words rearranged in a different order with each reiteration.

	Brion Gysin
		Brion Gysin (1916–1986) was a multifaceted artist whose fertile mind and wide range of original ideas were a source of inspiration for artists of the Beat Generation in Paris, as well as to innovative artists and performers such as David Bowie, Mick Jagger, Keith Haring, and Laurie Anderson in the next generation.
		Painter, writer, sound poet, tape composer, lyricist, and performance artist, Gysin is remembered particularly for his evocative paintings of the North African desert in the 1950s and his original calligraphic abstractions based on Japanese and Arabic scripts.
		The chance discovery by Gysin of the cut-up technique (later developed and refined by William S. Burroughs) and the concept of permutated poems gave rise to new and original forms of sound art wordplay, striking not only in print but also in recordings or live performance.

		Gysin's pivotal role as the secret alchemist of the beat underground, the inventor of the cut-up and the dreamachine, as a sound poet and intuitive visual genius can finally be given due recognition.
		Gysin is a figure that is becoming imperceptible, hence his oft repeated proclamations, "I am HERE", "Here to go!" Forever hidden in the looming shadow of William Burroughs, Gysin was the nomad, mystic and bohemian that taught all the rest.
		Gysin became familiar with Japanese calligraphy while in the Canadian army and was immersed in Arabic calligraphy while living in Tangier.

	Grey Lodge Occult Review :: Issue #17 :: The Cut-Ups ::
		Brion Gysin, an American born in 1916 in England of a Swiss father and a Canadian mother, became a painter early in life and was in fact expelled from the Surrealist group in Paris by Andre Breton when he was only nineteen years old.
		Describing the discovery of cut-ups, Brion Gysin stressed, "The cut-up method treats words as the painter treats his paints, raw materials with rules and reasons of its own." 15.
		Burroughs and Gysin's individual and collaborative efforts in these areas have extended into a vast range of media aside from literature such as tape cut-ups and importantly the technique was transferred to cinema.

		A memorable example of this is "I don't dig work, man" (try it!) Many of these permutations were derived using a random sequence generator in an early computer program written by Ian Sommerville.
		He also experimented with permutation on recording tape, by splicing together the sounds of a gun firing recorded at different amplitudes in the BBC Radiophonic Workshop thus producing Pistol Poem.
		The piece was subsequently used as a theme in 1960 for the performance in Paris of Le Domaine Poetique, a showcase for experimental works by people like Gysin, Françoise Dufrêne, Bernard Heidsieck, and Henri Chopin.

		Brion Gysin (1916 - 1986) was a visual artist, historian, novelist, and an experimental poet credited with the discovery of the 'cut-up' technique -- a collage of texts, not pictures -- which his longtime collaborator William S. Burroughs put to more extensive use.
		One of the first Fulbright Fellows, Brion Gysin was recognized for his book, To Master -- a Long Goodnight, with its substantial appendix A History of Slavery in Canada.
		His career as a visual artist began before the age of 20; he was part of the famous 1935 Surrealist Drawings show in Paris, though at the orders of Andrandeacute; Breton his work was taken down.

		As a painter Gysin is remembered for his evocative views of the Sahara and for his unprecedented calligraphic abstractions inspired by Japanese and Arabic script.
		His later discovery of the potential of a paint-roller to produce a limitless ready-made grid provided the basis for the unique 'roller poems' of the 1970s, a concept extended to the use of 35mm film to produce photographic sequences showing the construction of the Centre Pompidou (Beaubourg) in Paris.
		Gysin's chance observation of random combinations of words led to the development of the cut-up technique by his friend William S. Burroughs, with whom he would collaborate most notably in producing The Third Mind (1978).
