American composer, born 27th October 1912 in Texarkana, Arkansas, died 10th August 1997 in Mexico City.
Nancarrow mainly composed for player piano by progamming sound events via punched paper rolls.

György Ligeti, among others, honored him by calling his work the greatest discovery since Webern and Ives.
