Craig Pepples

Craig Pepples is an American composer who has lived in Asia for over 35 years. He studied composition at Yale under several teachers including David Hicks, whose algorithmic software has been an essential tool in Pepples' compositions. During his time at Yale, he was an active member of Martin Bresnick's new music group 'Sheep's Clothing', a precursor to the 'Bang-on-a-Can' ensemble in New York. Between 2001 and 2015, Pepples served on the board of the Hong Kong New Music Ensemble, and he is currently a board member of Musical Observations Inc. His music appears on Paul Zukofsky's final Tokyo recording on the CP2 label, and since 2018 he has been involved with Open Space, out of Red Hook, New York.
