  Paulo Raposo - "floating point"

  gos003 / 2003
  cdr


Paulo Raposo is a sound + media artist interested in exploring intersections between sound and image and sound and architecture. He has exhibited and performed his work in France, Germany, UK, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal and United States.

He studied philosophy and cinema in Lisbon, Portugal, where he currently lives. In the early nineties, he founded the project vitriol with Carlos Santos that remains active in the field of sound performance. His ongoing work puts an emphasis in the displacement of various sound sources as objects, acoustic instruments or architectural spaces, using computer and custom-built software to create abstract organic landscapes.

His work "Rizomas" was presented at Phil Niblock's Experimental Intermedia Foundation, New York and received the BES prize in 1996. 

Sound, video and media collaborations with Jason Khan, Marc Behrens, Kaffe Mathews, Koji, Asano, Jeremy Bernstein, Carlos Zíngaro, Harold Baush, Matt Rogalski, Ben Manley, Manuel Mota, among many others.

He has composed music for dance and film, and conceived installations.

In 2001 he founded 'SIRR', a label dedicated to promote and disseminate experimental electronic music and other media. Paulo Raposo is director of the association Granular, based in Lisbon.
