Randy Greif

Randy Greif is an American composer who has made electronic, musique concrète and computer music since the mid-1970s. His work joins noise and dense electronic layers with spoken word and field recordings. He is best known for his long setting of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, in which readings from an old spoken-word edition of the book are sliced, processed and placed inside his own music. In 1983 Greif started Swinging Axe Productions, a cassette label for his own work and that of like-minded artists.
