Rolf Gehlhaar
Rolf Rainer Gehlhaar (30 December 1943 – 7 July 2019) was an American composer, Professor in Experimental Music at Coventry University and researcher in assistive technology for music.

Although he took an interest in music from the age of eight or younger, in the post-war years the family could not afford for him to learn an instrument, and so Rolf only began to play the piano at the age of fifteen, and at about the same time began to compose for fun.

The processes, indicated primarily by plus, minus, a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
