York Holler

York Höller (born 1944 in Leverkusen) is a German composer whose orchestral, chamber and stage works often bring live instruments together with electronic sound. He studied in Cologne with Bernd Alois Zimmermann and Herbert Eimert, worked at the WDR electronic studio in 1971-72 at Stockhausen's invitation, and from 1990 directed the WDR Studio for Electronic Music as Stockhausen's successor. Höller's Arcus (1978) for ensemble and tape was realised at IRCAM for the opening of its Espace de Projection.
