Ann Elizabeth Sandifur (born 14 May 1949) is an American business woman, composer,[1] teacher and writer.[2] She has produced several electronic and multimedia works.[3][4]
In 1969, Sandifur received third prize in a Mu Phi Epsilon competition for her composition Prenatal.[7] She received a grant from the National Center for Experiments in Television, based in San Francisco.[1] During the early 1970s, Sandifur’s works were performed by MAFISHCO at the Cat’s Paw Palace of Performing Arts, a major alternative theatre in East Bay, California.[8] Later in the 1970s, she worked with David Tudor’s performance group, Composers Inside Electronics (CIE).[9]
As a business woman, Sandifur founded the Rosonant Communications Network. She was vice president and in charge of data processing at the Metropolitan Mortgage and Securities Company from 1980 to 1982. In 1983, she completed a 5-year commission from Metropolitan Mortgage and Securities to create Cosmography, a multimedia sculpture.[3]
In a 1999 joint interview with composer Janice Giteck, Sandifur and Giteck described themselves as “life-oriented, not career oriented,” noting that they sought to be “versatile rather than specialized.”[10]
Sandifur belongs to the Phi Lambda Chapter of Mu Phi Epsilon.[11] Her music is published by Arsciene Publishing.[12] Her compositions include:
