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 .[1] [2] 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.[3]
His music is recorded on BIS Records ,[4] 12 Tónar and ITM.
