Roc Jiménez de Cisneros

Artist

Roc Jiménez de Cisneros is an artist working primarily with sound. He is part of EVOL, a computer music group with Scottish artist Stephen Sharp, and the techno collective GLUES. His work explores processes of deformation – both literal and metaphorical – across graphical pieces, light installations, essays, and, especially, music.

Jiménez de Cisneros’ recordings have been released on labels including Diagonal, Editions Mego, Presto!?, Superpang, Reel Torque, iDEAL, and ALKU. His practice embraces radical reduction, drawing on fluctuating micro-patterns, hard-edged synthesis, and a sharply tuned sense of absurdity to bend and stretch some of his favourite cultural icons. He refers to this approach as 'Acid Mereotopology.'

He presents work in live and installation contexts across clubs, galleries, and institutions internationally, and is a member of the MACBA Web Radio Working Group, the online radio project of the Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA).
