Valentin Rocher is an electronic musician and sound artist based in Brussels.

His training in anthropology and his research into electronic music led him to organize events and festivals. He embarked on sound creation with his first machines, attracted by the direct access and manipulation of sound that this allows.

In 2013, he co-founded the live project Silicon Vallée, and began practicing his live shows with a resolutely Acid Techno House sound. After several years of live performances in Belgian clubs, they bring their energy into the studio for Activities Records.

At the same time, he discovered the endless world of modular synthesizers. Fascinated by the hypnotic power and physicality of the sound they produce, he explores these instruments in search of the accidental, playing with the digressions they allow. Surprise and the unexpected become the driving force behind his playing and compositions. Seeking out new approaches and sound textures, he takes a step sideways into the experimental and ambient.

His parallel activity as a developer led him to immerse himself in the sonification of climatic data, developing his own algorithm. This led him to rethink his artistic approach. Data become sound sources, the modular programmatic, and sound an object to be manipulated. Combined with a background in acousmatic music, this project aims to explore the new sonic possibilities available, placing itself at the frontier between electronic music, sound art and technological hijacking.
