Laurie Spiegel is best known as a composer, but she has done a lot of hardware and software development.

At Bell Labs in 1973 she developed computer music systems (GROOVE, Alles).
She did most of the design work on the alphaSyntauri system (which used the Apple II) and later the McLeyvier.
In 1986 she released her own algorithmic composition software called Music Mouse.
Her musical interpretation of Kepler's "Harmonices Mundi" is Track 1 of the golden record on board Voyager.
