Michael Torke

The American composer Michael Torke was born on 22 September 1961 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He studied at the Eastman School of Music and at Yale University. His music, sometimes described as post-minimalist, is influenced by jazz and minimalism, and includes the Color Suite, inspired by his own synaesthesia, and Javelin (1994, commissioned by the Atlanta olympic committee), probably his most popular work.
