Something wrong?David Woodard writes music for people before they die - what he calls "prequiems" - and his subjects have included a terrorist awaiting execution, the 9/11 hijackers, and a neo-Nazi leader. His work sits where ceremony meets provocation.

Born in 1964, Woodard is an American conductor and writer who spent the 1990s and 2000s building and selling replica Dreamachines, stroboscopic light devices meant to alter perception. He coined the term "prequiem" to describe the musical compositions he made for the soon-to-be-deceased, creating pieces for baseball player Joe DiMaggio and Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh. He wrote music for neo-Nazi activist William Luther Pierce and attempted to memorialize the September 11 hijackers. Woodard has expressed interest in Nueva Germania, a district in Paraguay founded by German settlers, calling it "an Aryan vacuum in the middle of the jungle", though he denies being a white supremacist. His career has been defined by performances that court controversy through their subjects.
