(Bobby Beausoleil (Santa Barbara, CA, 1947) is a composer and musician, associate of Charles Manson and members of his communal Manson Family. He was convicted and sentenced to death for the July 27, 1969, fatal stabbing of Gary Hinman, who had befriended him and other Manson associates. Beausoleil was later granted commutation to a lesser sentence of life imprisonment, after the Supreme Court of California issued a ruling that invalidated all death sentences issued in California prior to 1972.
During his incarceration in the California state prison system, Beausoleil has recorded and released music. He has also worked on visual art, instrument design, and media technology.
Incarcerated for most of his adult life, Beausoleil has nonetheless
produced a significant body of musical recordings, visual art, and
writings. Among his most notable works is the soundtrack for Lucifer Rising, an indie-underground film by Kenneth Anger, paired with a prog-rock
symphony for a fallen angel's mythical journey. To perform and record
his score from prison, Beausoleil assembled The Magick Powerhouse of Oz
band).
