Ramón Humet
Ramón Humet is a Spanish composer born in Barcelona in 1968. In 2006 he was awarded the Queen Sofía Prize for Escenas de pájaros,[1] which also won the Montreal Symphony Prize the following year,[2] and in 2008 he won the Ciutat de Tarragona Award for Gagaku.[3] His music, influenced by nature and zen, has been described as atemporal, luminous, colorful, very meditative and organic by Pablo González,[4] and as delicate and subtle, with high poetic imagination by Johathan Harvey.[5]
