Alejandra RiòsMX/DE
Alejandra Riòs is a Mexican sound designer, multimedia artist, and researcher working between Berlin and Mexico City. She is a Producer and 4DSOUND Engineer at MONOM Studios, where she develops projects in spatial composition, immersive sound, and experimental sonic systems.
Her practice combines composition, creative coding, and DIY electronics. She designs and builds her own tools and software instruments, working with multichannel systems, physical modeling, electromagnetic transduction, and algorithms developed in Max/MSP and Python. Her recent research explores how behaviors observed in nature, computational models, and physical processes can become structures for sound synthesis and movement.
Her work is driven by an interest in memory, liminal spaces, and the relationships between natural and artificial systems. Through installation, film, and spatial composition, she constructs sonic scenes in which sounds move, interact, and transform, treating space itself as an active element of composition.
She holds an M.A. in Sound Studies and Sonic Arts from the Berlin University of the Arts (UdK). Her thesis, Voces (des)bordadas, explores what remains of a voice when it is no longer audible, translating sonic memory into embroidered textiles and handmade soft speakers.
