Antoine Beuger
Antoine Beuger is a Dutch composer and flautist, born in Oosterhout in 1955, who lives in Haan near Düsseldorf. In 1992 he founded the Wandelweiser group and its publishing house and label, Edition Wandelweiser, with the violinist Burkhard Schlothauer. His music belongs to the Wandelweiser approach of sparse, very quiet sound and long silences, which takes its cue from John Cage. Beuger studied composition with Ton de Leeuw in Amsterdam from 1973 to 1978, then stopped composing for about ten years.
