Karl Aage Rasmussen
Karl Aage Rasmussen (born 13 December 1947) is a Danish composer and writer. He was born in Kolding. Composition Quotation and particularly collage played an important role in his music from the early 1970s, but increasingly he used pre-existing musical material in new connections and for new purposes, most often in a densely woven montage of small idioms which in themselves were too tiny to work as quotes, but were put together so closely as to create entirely new patterns.

This is apparent in music for the stage and was later continued in works such as ''A Symphony in Time'' and the string quartets ''Solos and Shadows'' and ''Surrounded by Scales''.
