Mikel Rouse

Mikel Rouse (born January 26, 1957 in St. Louis, MO) is a USA composer. Mikel Rouse has been associated with totalism and led the Mikel Rouse Broken Consort. Rouse is best known for his operas, including Dennis Cleveland, about a television talk show host, which Rouse wrote and starred in. Rouse writes music that is idiomatically and stylistically indebted to popular music, yet he uses complex rhythmic techniques derived from world music, the avant-garde and minimalism, including a technique he calls "counterpoetry" in which separate lines of a song sung by separate characters or groups are set to phrases of differing lengths (such as 9 beats and 10 beats) and often played over a background time signature of four four.
