Amina Hocine is a Swedish composer, sound artist and instrument maker from Stockholm. She writes acousmatic, acoustic and notated music focusing on long pieces exploring minimal harmonic movements and static rhythmic gestures. Her recent work is centred around a homemade organ composed of heating, ventilation and air conditioning parts that produces mesmerising drones with profound psycho-acoustic effects. Inspired by spiritual sciences, she weaves detailed timbres that encourage deep listening into her compositions.
