Thomas Köner
Thomas Koner (or, better, Koener) is a multimedia artist whose main interest lies in combining visual and auditory experiences. He's been noted for his use of low frequencies. As a solo artist, he pens drone-based ambient music that follows Brian Eno's Discreet Music commandments. Nunatak Gongamour and Teimo focus on soft, slow-decaying gong drones (Andenes). Permafrost is his most austere work and perhaps his masterpiece.
