PHROQ / FRANCISCO MEIRINO

Francisco Meirino first began recording in 1994, occasionally donning the moniker Phroq. His music is a complex and constantly changing electronic soundscape, ranging from ultra dynamic electro-acoustics to sheer noise passages. Through these sounds, Meirino explores the tension between programmed and accidental results.

Meirino / Phroq is widely published with work released through Groundfault, , Banned Productions, Even Stilte, Entr'e acte, Audiobot, Solpisism, Gameboy, and his own imprint, Shiver Sounds.

Francisco Meirino has exhibited work at the Mostra d’Art Sonor I Visual (Barcelona), The Scenario Pubblico (Catania), and the Standard-Deluxe art gallery (Lausanne). He has peformed at internationally including the Observatori festival (Spain), Norberg (Sweden), LUFF (Switzerland), as well as in New York, Tokyo, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. He has also collaborated with the likes of Scott Arford, Dave Phillips, Zbigniew Karkowski, Cindy Van Acker, Lasse Marhaug, Tim Olive, and Kasper T. Toeplitz.

Francisco Meirino will perform at the Eleventh Annual Activating The Medium festival in 2008.
