Ralph Zurmuhle is originally from Switzerland. He holds a Master of Laws degree from the University of Zurich. He lived in Barcelona during the past ten years and moved to Tucson (Arizona) in April of 2009, where he currently resides. At the early age of five Ralph discovered his natural talent for the piano and began private lessons. He studied classical music and jazz until the age of twenty.

In 1986 he began to compose music for film, theater and multimedia. His most recent projects are: All Secrets, feature film (Edinburgh, 2008), L'horitzó, multimedia exhibit (Metrònom, Barcelona, and International Biennial of Contemporary Art, Almería, Spain, 2006) and Norró, documentary (National Spanish TV, 2006).

Ralph's 3 CDs composed for piano have been met with critical acclaim. His first solo CD for piano Between was released in 2000. He followed that initial release with Communion in 2003 and Our Mother in 2007.

He has performed many solo piano concerts throughout Spain, either playing his own repertoire or, on special occasions, purely improvising. In 2005 he composed the score for several classical silent movies by Buñuel, Clair, Man Ray, Duchamp etc. and performed live for the New music for classic silent films series at the Valencian Institute of Modern Art (IVAM), one of Spain's most prestigious contemporary art museums.
