Fuzzy (aka Jens Wilhelm Pedersen) studied composition with Per Nørgard, Vagn Holmboe, Finn Høffding, Jan Bark, György Ligeti and Karlheinz Stockhausen. He trained as a music theorist and composer and until 1982 lectured at the Royal Danish Academy of Music in Aarhus, where he taught music theory and music history. He is well known, amongst other things, for his music for theatre, film, opera and ballet, as well as for his electronic works. Fuzzy was a Danish pioneer in the field of electroacoustic music, working mainly in his private studio in Copenhagen. Many Danes know his music from television, where children joined him over the years in programmes like “Fuzzy’s Workshop”, “The Owl in the Cave”, “Snip, Snap, Snude” and the like.
