From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Michael Chant is an English composer and political activist. Born in 1945, he became politically active in the 1960s while associated with another composer, Cornelius Cardew.
Chant became a member of the Communist Party of England (Marxist-Leninist) and espoused that party's support for first Mao's China and then Enver Hoxha's Albania. Chant remains active in the Revolutionary Communist Party of Britain (Marxist-Leninist) and is also an active trade unionist. His musical work has continued to focus on political issues, as did his original work with the Scratch Orchestra, an experimental performing ensemble.
