Experience Sönke Meinen

Sönke Meinen is a German composer and sound artist renowned for his work with modular synthesizers and field recordings. Initially gaining recognition within Berlin’s experimental electronic music scene in the early 2000s, Meinen developed a distinctive style characterized by slowly evolving textures, intricate rhythmic structures, and a focus on the physicality of sound. He’s a dedicated advocate for analog synthesis, often building and modifying his own instruments.

Meinen’s discography includes critically acclaimed albums like *Tesselations* (2016) and *Forward Motion* (2019) on Raster-Noton, demonstrating his mastery of ambient techno and minimalist composition. His work frequently explores the intersection of acoustic space and electronic manipulation, often incorporating sounds captured from diverse environments – from industrial sites to natural landscapes.

Beyond album releases, Meinen is known for immersive live performances and bespoke sound installations. He's collaborated with visual artists and choreographers, expanding his practice into multi-sensory experiences. Notably, he’s held residencies at institutions like the Cité des Arts in Paris and has presented work internationally at festivals including Unsound and Mutek.
