Rhys Chatham (born September 19, 1952, New York City) is an American composer, guitarist, and trumpet player, primarily active in avant-garde and minimalist music. He is best known for his "guitar orchestra" compositions. His compositional concern has been to bring together seemingly incompatible elements and put them through a personal filter so as to vertically align them. During much of his career, he has devoted himself to combining the pounding, throbbing rhythms of rock with the aesthetic concerns of post-minimalism. He has lived in France since 1987.
