About Mārtiņš Roķis

Mārtiņš Roķis (also referred to as Martins Rokis) is a sound artist from Rīga, Latvia. He works with sound in different contexts, creating abstract compositions-processes, installations and performances. He has been experimenting with various forms of electronic music since the late 90's, but while studying philosophy and delving into sound programming his focus gradually shifted away from musical aspects of sound more towards experimental relationships between sound, space and body and multimodality of human perception. Roķis alienated and sometimes noisy hyper-psychedelic sound world is influenced more by science, technology, contemporary art and philosophy, than by Western musical traditions and means of expression. Currently he is working with sound and visuals in different contexts, forms, crossing boundaries between so-called computer music, psychedelic noise and abstract sound art, blending generative strategies with improvisation and also occasionally making sound installations or works for multichannel systems. He has presented his artistic activities locally and internationally and so far he has published few limited edition releases. http://www.martinsrokis.com
