Haukur Tómasson
Haukur Tómasson (born 9 January 1960) is an Icelandic composer. He has a master's degree from the University of California, San Diego. He has also attended the Reykjavík College of Music, the Cologne University for Music and the Sweelinck Conservatory of Amsterdam.His works include six orchestral pieces, three concertos and the chamber opera ''Gudruns 4th Song'', for which he was awarded the 2004 Nordic Council Music Prize. His orchestral piece ''Strati'' won the Icelandic National Broadcasting System Music Prize in 1993. Other prizes include the 1996 Bröste Optimism Prize and the 1998 Icelandic Music Award for ''Gudrun's 4th Song''. His composition ''Saga (Fabella)'' for ensemble won the State Radio's 70th anniversary competition in 2000.
His earliest works (''Octette'' and ''Eco del passato'') used Fibonacci numbers to determine the intervals and durations. Later works such as ''Spiral'', ''Strati'' and ''Offspring'' use a different approach based on his so-called "spiral technique". He also started to use Icelandic folk material in his compositions in the late 1990s.
His music is recorded on BIS Records, 12 Tónar and ITM. Provided by Wikipedia
