Robin Koek (Netherlands, 1987) is active as a composer, musician and designer of artistic systems. His works explore states wherein acoustic, digital and analog signals intertwine and merge in to one body of sound. The origins of his compositions follow a line of research into acoustic ontology, urban transcription and spatial potential of sound. His tape, live and installation works immerse the audience and construct new realities, manifesting through multi-channel projection, binaural experiences and wavefield synthesis. Current focus is on an ongoing serie of sound structures and systems based on city soundscape phonology, electronic processing and scores for instrumental improvisation. These pieces have been performed in amongst other places; Toronto, Viseu, New York, Ohio, Berlin and Amsterdam. As a performing musician he stems from a tradition of improvisation and performed at several places like Bimhuis, Rijksmuseum Amsterdam and TodaysArt festival. He is an active member of the Soundlings collective, a gathering of international sound professionals. Koek earned a Bachelor with Honours and a Master of Arts specialised in Sound Design at the Utrecht School of the Arts, Faculty of Music Technology in 2011
