Portrait of Josué Moreno

About

I create music that behaves like weather — atmospheres you can inhabit. My work moves between concert halls and public spaces, treating architecture and attention as compositional materials. Recurring threads: urban sonic acupuncture, aural weather, electroacoustic composition, and generative systems.

I am Doctor in Music (Uniarts Helsinki, 2022) and University Arts Teacher at the Sibelius Academy's Music Technology Department.

Research

Research areas: urban sonic acupuncture, aural weather, spatial audio, generative art, sonic augmented reality, and site-responsive composition. Selected items below; the full dissertation and academic profiles link out for deeper reading.

A note: all of my written outputs accompany an artistic project. The research text is incomplete without the experience of the work itself.
