Sonic Architecture
With Sonic Architecture, OSOSONIC creates live layered sound compositions in which existing music, soundtracks, field recordings and experimental sounds are edited, transformed and rebuilt into new musical constructions.
A sonic immersion in which deep listening, feeling and experience take center stage. Working with multiple layers of sound, OSOSONIC builds an experience where ambient, avant-garde, sound art, library music, drone, noise, electronic music and cinematic textures come together.
Musical fragments are not simply mixed, but also edited, slowed down, sped up, looped, sampled, reversed and reshaped through effects.
Sonic Architecture invites deep listening: a way of listening in which musical constructions, texture, tension, silence and imagination come together.
A Search for Freedom in Sound
OSOSONIC is a Rotterdam-based DJ, sound artist and cultural initiator with over 28 years of experience in music, nightlife and underground culture.
His artistic development comes from a continuous search for freedom in sound. After many years as a DJ, he immersed himself in modular synthesizers, where he spent several years developing his understanding of synthesis, sound shaping, texture and abstract composition.
Still, within that way of working, he began to miss the direct energy of mixing: the intuitive response to existing musical material and the ability to quickly build new compositions from fragments, layers and movement. From that need, he started experimenting with four turntables, using existing music, soundtracks and experimental sounds as material for layered live compositions. Although working with vinyl gave him a strong tactile foundation, it eventually also revealed creative limitations. It did not always offer the freedom, speed and flexibility needed to fully express his artistic intention.
In 2026, OSOSONIC brought together his experience as a DJ, his knowledge of modular synthesis and his fascination with layered composition in Sonic Architecture: a live form in which he edits, transforms and rebuilds existing music and sound into new musical constructions.
His work moves between DJ culture, sound art, deep listening and live composition. Ambient, avant-garde, library music, drone, noise, electronic music and cinematic textures come together in performances where listening, feeling and experience take center stage.
