Daria Semegen

Born: 27th June 1946, Bamberg, Germany

Nationality: American

Daria Semegen is a contemporary American composer of classical music. While she has composed pieces for traditional instruments — her Jeux des quatres (1970), for example, is scored for clarinet, trombone, cello, and piano — she is best known as a "respected electronic composer." She is a figure on the academic side of the electronic music genre, connected with the conservatory and the university (like her older contemporary Karlheinz Stockhausen), rather than the more popular expression of the genre that followed upon the widespread availability of synthesizers and personal computers in the 1970s and after. Her writing covers a range of topics related to musical composition and has been the subject of studies by other scholars.
