BIO

José Luis Perdigón is a Canarian (Spain) composer and performer based in Berlin. His work engages with the expressive dimension of temporal structures and the visual–spatial connotations of timbre, often using unusual sound objects. He explores auditory and musical imagery—particularly voluntary and involuntary musical imagery (VMI / INMI)—as well as visual imagery, seeking experiences in which perception and imagination coexist and overlap.

His music has been commissioned and performed by soloists, ensembles, and orchestras including Ninon Hannecart-Ségal, Neue Vocalsolisten, PHACE, Trio Abstrakt, Kebyart Quartet, Schallfeld Ensemble, Trio Catch, Ensemble Ascolta, Trio Accanto, Vertixe Sonora, Plural Ensemble, and Brandenburgisches Staatsorchester Frankfurt. He has participated in festivals such as Impuls (Graz), Musik der Jahrhunderte (Stuttgart), the Darmstadt International Summer Courses for New Music, Mixtur Festival, and the Canary Islands International Music Festival.

He is the co-founder, composer, and performer of Kollektiv Unruhe, a Berlin-based collective of composers and performers dedicated to contemporary creation.
