Laurie Spiegel

Laurie Spiegel is an American composer and electronic music pioneer whose work focuses on algorithmic and computer-assisted composition. She combines formal, often mathematical processes with expressive melodic and harmonic material, exploring interactive software and synthesizer-based sound. Spiegel developed the Music Mouse composition software and produced pieces that demonstrate the creative potential of real-time algorithmic systems. Her work is of interest to musicians and technologists working with computer music and generative approaches.
