Sascha Jan Selke (* 1967 in Hardheim, Baden-Württemberg) is a German-Austrian composer.

Life
The Selke family moved to Salzburg, Austria in 1972. In 1986, Sascha Selke began studying musicology, philosophy and art history at the University of Salzburg, graduating with distinction in 1992. In the following years he published several editions of Early Music in cooperation with the Department of Musicology at the University of Salzburg, worked as an editorial advisor for SONY and BMG and had several teaching assignments at Salzburg University.

Achievements
Sascha Selke’s work can be grouped in two sections: This includes the musical concept “Harmonices Terræ” for Rogner Bad Blumau in Styria, which translates data from geographical measurings into relating (virtual) string lenghts in order to create the harmonical foundation of the music that can be head there.
 * 1) film music
 * 2) musical concepts for interpreting non-musical data through music, which he himself calls "self-constructing music".

Another example: in a collaboration with biologists and geneticists of "dialog<>gentechnik" in Vienna, he developed the “Evolution Sonata”, which translates genetical information and evolutionary processes in sequences of musical notes.
