Maggi Payne is a composer, flutist, recording engineer/editor and video artist. Payne began studying flute at the age of nine and attended Interlochen National Music Camp and Aspen Music School. She obtained a Bachelor of Music degree in performance at Northwestern University, where she studied with flutist Walfrid Kujala, a MFA degree in performance from the University of Illinois at Urbana, and a MFA degree in electronic music and the recording media from Mills College.

Payne has received Composer's Grants and an Interdisciplinary Arts Grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, and video grants from the Mellon Foundation and the Western States Regional Media Arts Fellowships Program.

From the moment she first heard a flute, she insisted on learning the instrument. Although she has a thorough background in classical music, from a very early age she was drawn to "new music" and extended techniques. She started working on Varese's Density 21.5 as soon as she could hit the high "d"s," and has specialized in performing the newest music available. While at Northwestern, Elise Ross (voice), Daniel Stepner (violin), Peter Takacs (piano) and she formed a new music improvisatory group which was very active. She has continued to pursue extended techniques, broadening the scope to include recording techniques and electronic processing.
