Francisco Meirino - Born in 1975, Francisco Meirino is active since 1994 (as phroq until 2009) in sound and live performance, he explores the tension between programmable material and the potential for its failure by working mainly with the computer, (eurorack) modular synthesizer, magnetic fields detectors, reel-to-reel tape recorders, piezo transducers and various acoustic devices. He is primarily interested in the idea of recording what is not supposed to be : gear failures, the death of PA systems, magnetic fields and electro-static noises, EVP recordings. Francisco Meirino's music is fascinating by its physical intensity and detail precision. More than 150 live performances in various venues and festivals in Europe, Japan and North America.
