Kristoffer Zegers (born 27 December 1973) is a Dutch composer.

Life

Zegers was born in Breda, and was taught by Gilius van Bergeijk, Jan Boerman, Martijn Padding, Clarence Barlow, Diderik Wagenaar at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague.

Career

In Zegers' music microtonal clusters are the main object. His music is about slow developments in clusters via glissandi. Because of that: his motto "Glissandéz mes enfants, Glissandéz toujours!" after César Franck: "Moduléz mes enfants, Moduléz toujours!".

Zegers most important work is Pianophasing, composition for 20 to 60 pianos. This work is played in the United Kingdom, Australia and several places in The Netherlands.

gollark: See if there's a time difference between gravitational wave propagation and light propagation from an event, maybe.

gollark: Isn't chirality basically just "you can't superimpose it on a mirror image of itself"?
