Rubén Patiño aka Pato is a sound artist born in Barcelona in 1979.

Current artist in residence at NK 

Pato works in the field of Computer Music combining different  sound synthesis techniques  generated with Pure Data and  Super  Collider .

All his sound pieces tend to have a stochastical approach and need to be experienced at high volume to appreciate  its  dynamic changes.

He has performed several solo performances in Spain, France, Germany,England, Denmark and played in festivals like Zeppelin 2005, Transmediale 2006 and MEM 2007. As well as live improvisations with tabletop guitarrist Olivier Di Placido and occasional collaborations inside EVOL, a computer music cell leaded by Roc Jiménez de Cisneros.

Also as a dj, his sets are mainly composed of multi-layered cut-up computer music mixed with some old avant-garde classics, noise and commercial music.

He lives in Berlin since 2005.
