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  Super  Collider  and Pure Data.

His work is a blend of  hyper energetic  algorithmic composition , futile visualization and humorous stochastic flavour.

He has performed several solo performances in Europe. 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 has been living in Berlin since 2005.
