User talk:Arfon (composer)

Arfon N. Tylluan (born in 1923, Trawsfynydd, Wales)is a highly influential avant- garde composer. He is not well known, but for those who have heard of him claim to be in a 'Arfon cult'. Arfon's composing techniques come from a wide range of different musicans and composers such as John Cage, Steve Reich and Llwybr Laethog.

In the late 80's Arfon started experimented with hybrid instruments (such as the chevo- a cross between a chello and a viola), samplers, autoharps,turntables, timpani, electric guitars and saxsaphones. It is said that in this period he created some of his beast compositiions such as 'Mae gen adenydd Toaster fi Tylluan'. Wich in this composition he branched out his influences to divirse acts like Dexys Midnight Runners, Les Baxter, Harry Partch and Throbbing Gristle.

Influance on others
John zorn once said of his style 'He was most possibly the best composer that ever lived'. John Griffiths of Llwybr Laethog said 'the problem with music today is it's not done by Arfon'.

Mental illness
Not much of his later work was effected by illness. It made him want to venture further and further in the realm of surrealism and Avant garde. His closest friend Robin Atherton encouraged him to do so as he was a drug addict and died shortly after Arfon him self.
