Igor Wakhévitch is a French composer who gained a small cult following in the late 1990s after praise circulated by Nurse with Wound and Michael Gira of Swans. Wakhévitch was a part of the 1960s atmosphere of musical integration and crossing borders. He was friends with Robert Wyatt and Mike Ratledge of The Soft Machine and studied with Pierre Schaeffer and Terry Riley.
Salvador Dali is the only painter who also wrote a libretto for an opera-poem called “Être Dieu” (“To Be God”), a reflection of his personality. Dali began to write the libretto for this opera in the year 1927 together with Federico Garcia Lorca one afternoon in the Café Regina Victoria, Madrid. In 1974 Dali made a record of the opera in Paris for which Igor Wakhevitch wrote the music.
The six-part work features Dali as God, Brigitte Bardot as an artichoke (haha!) and Catherine the Great and Marilyn Monroe do a striptease.
