Hildegard Westerkamp (born April 8, 1946, in Osnabrück, Germany) is a German and Canadian composer of electroacoustic music. Many of her compositions deal with the acoustic environment. Particular themes include soundscapes of urban or rural areas, including voices, noise, silence, music and media, and so on. In several of these compositions, she incorporates the poetry of her then-partner, Canadian writer Norbert Ruebsaat. She has composed for film soundtracks and her music has been featured in two Gus Van Sant movies ''Elephant'' (2003) and ''Last Days'' (2005). She is a founding member of the World Forum on Acoustic Ecology (WFAE) and a co-founder of Vancouver Co-op radio. ==Biography== Hildegard Westerkamp was born on April 8, 1946, in Osnabrück, Germany.
