"Compose" from the Latin "com" + "ponere" = "to put together"

A simple, inclusive term, but with perhaps less specificity than you'd 
like.

I sometimes use "sound artist" when I don't want the 
musico-historical reference. "Musical collage performance artist" 
might be useful if it weren't so unwieldy. "Plunderphonicist" works 
for me, but I'm a John Oswald fan.
