Primož Ramovš (1921–1999, Slovenia) was a composer and librarian. He was a pioneer of Slovenian musical avant-garde and one of the most prolific Slovenian composers. His early works are neoclassical in style, but later works employ serialism and other modernist techniques. He wrote almost exclusively instrumental music, which he found inspiration for in the abstract world. He often experimented, even in very extreme sense. He said: “If the result is negative, it will fall away by itself, but if it is positive, then it will be a new step in the development of music, which should never stop, but must go hand in hand with the times to build up our culture.”
