Tristan Murail (born March 11, 1947) is a French composer associated
with the "spectral" technique of composition (along with Jonathan Harvey
and the late Gérard Grisey), which involves the use of the fundamental
properties of sound as a basis for harmony, as well as the use of
spectral analysis, FM, RM, and AM synthesis as a method of deriving
polyphony.

Following early studies in economics and classical and North African
Arabic, Murail studied composition with Olivier Messiaen at the Paris
Conservatoire from 1967 to 1972. He taught computer music at the Paris
Conservatoire and composition at IRCAM in Paris, where he assisted in
the development of the Patchwork composition software. In 1973 he was a
founding member of the Ensemble l'Itinéraire. Since 1997 he has been a
professor of composition at Columbia University.
