Scanner
By Kit Macdonald

Initially known in the early 1990s for making electronica that made heavy use of intercepted mobile phone conversations and found sounds, Robin Rimbaud, aka Scanner, has become known for so much more in the decades since, during which he has worked with an array of top-tier names including Bryan Ferry, Merce Cunningham, Laurie Anderson and Steve McQueen.
Rimbaud's recorded work has touched on everything from glitchy electronics to lush orchestral compositions, and as well as his stellar artist collabs, he has worked with major cultural institutions and created scores for ballet and contemporary dance productions worldwide. Live, he creates immersive audio-visual experiences - exactly the kind of thing Casa Montjuic is an enduringly perfect venue for.
