Gysin introduced Burroughs to the technique at the Beat Hotel.

In 1951, Bowles was introduced to the Master Musicians of Jajouka, having first heard the musicians when he and Brion Gysin attended a festival or moussem at Sidi Kacem.

Mata also introduced his own influences, inspired by the 1916 Dada Movement, Anti Art, noise & musique concrète, plus the " cut up method " invented by Brion Gysin but executed by William Burroughs into his music.

He later met the painter Brion Gysin — inventor of The Cut-up technique — who tutored him and introduced him to modern European painters.

After Hamri introduced Gysin to the Zahjouka village, Gysin became a lifelong promoter of the Sufi trance master musicians who lived there.

In 1977, Burroughs and Gysin published The Third Mind, a collection of cut-up writings and essays on the form.

Stephen Mallinder of Cabaret Voltaire reported to Inpress magazine's Andrez Bergen that " I do think the manipulation of sound in our early days-the physical act of cutting up tapes, creating tape loops and all that-has a strong reference to Burroughs and Gysin ...."

OUs contributors included William S. Burroughs, Brion Gysin, Gil J Wolman, François Dufrêne, Bernard Heidsieck, John Furnival, Tom Phillips, and the Austrian sculptor, writer and Dada pioneer Raoul Hausmann.

His publication and design of the classic audio-visual magazines Cinquième Saison and OU between 1958 and 1974, each issue containing recordings as well as texts, images, screenprints and multiples, brought together international contemporary writers and artists such as members of Lettrisme and Fluxus, Jiri Kolar, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Tom Phillips, Brion Gysin, William S. Burroughs and many others, as well as bringing the work of survivors from earlier generations such as Raoul Hausmann and Marcel Janco to a fresh audience.

William S. Burroughs, a core member of the Beat Generation and a very influential postmodern novelist, developed what he called the " cut-up technique " with former surrealist Brion Gysin — in which chance is used to dictate the composition of a text from words cut out of other sources — referring to it as the " Surrealist Lark " and recognizing its debt to the techniques of Tristan Tzara.

William Burroughs used the cut-up technique developed by Brion Gysin to remix language in the 1960s.

Writers such as Tristan Tzara, Brion Gysin, and William Burroughs used the cut-up technique to introduce randomization to literature as a generative system.

In 1996, Mallinder reported to Inpress magazine's Andrez Bergen that " I do think the manipulation of sound in our early days-the physical act of cutting up tapes, creating tape loops and all that-has a strong reference to Burroughs and Gysin ; in terms of the Dada thing, there's a similarity between the Dadaists ' reaction to the bourgeoisie and the war and our own position-we felt alienated from popular culture ourselves.

It was written using the cut-up method, developed by Burroughs with Brion Gysin, of enfolding snippets of different texts into the novel.

William S. Burroughs, John Cage, Brion Gysin, and Iannis Xenakis were early artists who experimented with it.

Brion Gysin, the Process Church of the Final Judgement, William S. Burroughs, Aleister Crowley and Austin Osman Spare have stood out as major influences.

What musical content the LP features is improvisational and avant-garde in nature, and for the most part the album's tracks consist of spoken word material and sound experiments, at times reminiscent of the audio material that William S. Burroughs and Brion Gysin had been experimenting with in the 1960s.

He took the Doom Patrol, and superhero comic books in general, to places they had rarely been, incorporating bizarre secret societies, elements of Dada, surrealism, and the cut-up technique pioneered by William S. Burroughs and Brion Gysin.

In a March 15, 1966 letter to Brion Gysin, Burroughs describes a project he was working on at the time:

It was here that Burroughs completed the text of Naked Lunch and began his lifelong collaboration with Brion Gysin.

In July 2009, as part of a major William Burroughs symposium, NakedLunch @ 50, a special tribute was held outside 9 Rue Gît-le-Coeur, with Jean-Jacques Lebel unveiling a plaque commemorative, now permanently hammered to the outside wall next to the main entrance, honoring the Beat Hotel's seven most famous occupants: B. Gysin, H. Norse, G. Corso, A. Ginsberg, P. Orlovsky, I. Sommerville, W. Burroughs.

The name Master Musicians of Joujouka was first used by Brion Gysin and William S. Burroughs in the 1950s, Timothy Leary and Rosemary Woodruff Leary in the 1960s and 1970s and on the Brian Jones L. P. released in 1971.

Gysin became fascinated with the group's music and led William S. Burroughs to the village.

In Tangier, Gysin and Hamri founded the 1001 Nights restaurant, in which the musicians played throughout the 1950s to a largely Western audience in what was then an international zone, the " Interzone " of Burroughs ' fiction.

The same year 10 %: file under Burroughs featured the Master Musicians in collaboration with Marianne Faithfull on " My Only Friend ," an homage to Brion Gysin, as well as a prayer giving blessings and a vocal track by the musicians.

The same CD features artists such as Scanner sampling the musicians to create homages to Gysin and Burroughs.

He is also noted, along with Brion Gysin, for the creation of the " cut-up " technique, a technique ( similar to Tzara's " Dadaist Poem ") in which words and phrases are cut from a newspaper or other publication and rearranged to form a new message.

Starting with 14 concerts between 1 and 23 September 1962, at Wiesbaden, these Fluxfests presented work by musicians such as John Cage, Ligeti, Penderecki, Terry Riley and Brion Gysin alongside performance pieces written by Dick Higgins, George Brecht and Nam June Paik amongst many others.

' Fluxus ' exhibition with works by Braco Dimitrijevic, Brion Gysin, Dick Higgins, and Robin Page.

Walter's experiments with stroboscopic light, described in The Living Brain, inspired the development of a Dream Machine by the artist Brion Gysin and technician Ian Sommerville.

Meetings with William S. Burroughs and Brion Gysin in 1964 contributed to his interest in applying cut up and montage techniques to found texts, and ( via Gysin ) his first audio poem pieces, one of which was played at the Paris Museum of Modern Art Biennale in 1965.

Concurrent with the documentary Queercore: A Punk-u-mentary, Treleaven created an illustrated zine project called This Is The Salivation Army ( 1996 – 1999 ): a mix of punk, goth, occult, and industrial music aesthetics, alongside homages to iconoclasts like William S. Burroughs, Brion Gysin, William Blake, and Derek Jarman.

Most of the dreams are concerned with mundane affairs: talking to his friends Ian Sommerville, Allen Ginsberg and Brion Gysin ; protecting his cats ; trying to get sex, drugs or something to eat.

Together with Gysin, Hamri set up the " 1001 Nights Restaurant " in Tangier with Hamri as cook and where Gysin employed the Master Musicians to play.

Later, in the 1960s and ' 70s, interest in altered states led some artists to become interested in the subject, most notably Brion Gysin who, along with a Cambridge math student, invented the Dreamachine.

Its original main writers were referred to by Pratt as " Sex " ( Karen Catchpole ), " Drugs " ( Catherine Gysin ), and " Rock ' n Roll " ( Christina Kelly ) because of the topics they covered.

Also in the 1950s, painter and writer Brion Gysin more fully developed the cut-up method after accidentally re-discovering it.

Upon cutting through the newspapers, Gysin noticed that the sliced layers offered interesting juxtapositions of text and image.

She has appeared in the 2008 feature documentary by Nik Sheehan on Brion Gysin and the dreamachine, entitled FLicKeR.
