Morton Feldman was an American composer known for his experimental and minimalistic approach to music. Born on January 12, 1926, in the United States, Feldman studied under various composers including Stefan Wolpe and John Cage. He developed an interest in the works of abstract expressionist painters, which greatly influenced his music. Feldman's compositions were characterized by sparse and extended sounds, often featuring long periods of silence. Some of his notable works include 'Rothko Chapel' and 'For Philip Guston'.
