Akira Rabelais is an American electronic composer, poet, and software developer known for his work in experimental music and digital multimedia art. His compositions often involve the transformation of preexisting material through algorithmic and time domain-based processes. He is the creator of the software suite Argeïphontes Lyre, a system for the recombination and manipulation of audio and other media that has been used by experimental musicians and discussed in both critical and academic contexts. Rabelais' 2004 album Spellewauerynsherde, released on Samadhi Sound, received critical attention for its use of processed archival recordings, including Icelandic lamentations.
