José Luis Perdigón
Canarian composer, violinist and performer. He started his musical education at the 'Escuela de Música de la Palma' and the ‘Conservatorio Superior de Música de Canarias’, where he finished his violin diploma. After studying the fundamentals of composition, he moved to Berlin, where he finished his Master at the Universität der Künste.
In his works he explores time structures as a way of expression, visual-spatial connotations of timbre and internal auditory projections through strange sound objects, obsessive repetition and subversion in the use of silence.
He has received commissions from Ensemble Ascolta, Vertixe Sonora, Brandenburgisches Staatsorchester Frankfurt, Orquesta de Valencia, Sonido Extremo and his works have been premiered by Trio Accanto, Les Percussions de Strasbourg, Schallfeld Ensemble, Trio Abstrakt, Kebyart Quartet, PHACE and Trio Catch, among others. He participated in festivals such as Impuls (Graz), Musik der Jahrhunderte (Stuttgart), Darmstadt International Summer Courses for New Music, Mixtur Festival and Canary Islands International Music Festival.
In 2021 he was awarded the first prize of the XIX International Joan Guinjoan Prize (2021). He is also co-founder, composer and performer of Kollektiv Unruhe.
