Francisco Meirino (Spanish-born in Switzerland in 1975) first began recording in 1994 sometimes under the moniker Phroq, sometimes under his own name. His music, a complex and constantly changing electronic soundscape, range from dynamic electroacoustic to sheer noise passages, is fascinating by it intensity and precision. He works mainly with the computer, contact microphones and acoustic devices. The music of Francisco Meirino explores the tension between programmed and accidental results.
