Vinko Globokar in 2006

Vinko Globokar (born 7 July 1934) is a French-Slovenian avant-garde composer and trombonist.[1][2][3]

Globokar's music uses unconventional and extended techniques, places great emphasis on spontaneity and creativity, and often relies on improvisation. His extensive output is largely unknown outside of experimental music circles.

As a trombonist, he has premiered works by Luciano Berio, Mauricio Kagel, René Leibowitz, Karlheinz Stockhausen, and Toru Takemitsu, as well as his own compositions.[4][5]
