Thomas Pernes (born February 25, 1956) is an austrian avant-garde composer and performance artist who lives and works in Vienna. He studied piano with Bruno Seidlhofer and composition with Roman Haubenstock-Ramati.
Already in the early 1980s he had widened the narrow sphere of interest of the classical avant-garde. At a time when the term crossover was not yet known he worked with elements of folk music and jazz just as he used electronics to enlarge the possibilities of composition.
In the 90s he started developing his own form of music theatre, known as Klangtheater: “When Thomas Pernes speaks about sound theater as representation or reproduction of reality, one should think not only superficially of the everyday elements such as sound, fragments of conversation, thought, and quotation that are built into the montage. It is rather and above all the unity that arises paradoxically from disparate and divergent elements and their individual motions that corresponds in its dialectical structure to reality. As Hegel says about reality and truth, so too is the sound theater the Baccahanalisn revel in which no member is not drunk”.
