Piotr Zak
On June 5th, 1961, BBC Third Programme played a composition called Mobile for Tape and Percussion that was supposedly written by a Polish composer named Piotr Zak and played by Claude Tessier and Anton Schmidt. However, it turned out it was a hoax concocted by BBC producers Hans Keller and Susan Bradshaw, who said: “It was a serious hoax to set people thinking that fake music can be indistinguishable from the genuine.”
