shewhomustToday's Guardian carries an obituary for Ivor Cutler: a portrait full of telling detail, and a good likeness of the man, or at least of his public persona. The IvorCutler.org site needs updating, but does offer links to more information, and some tiny sound clips. He was, and made a point of being, the opposite of lively, but the world will be a duller place without him.
I first heard Ivor Cutler on John Peel's after midnight radio show, The Perfumed Garden, and his name always brings to my mind that flat, Glaswegian voice. But his utterances are also published as books of poetry, with wavering line drawings, and some were published as picture books for warped children.
