X Medianoche is an artist and sound designer whose work dances with the viscous relationship between spirituality, technology, and sensation. They design and curate sound environments for screen, performance, visual arts & events grounded in deep body listening. X holds an MFA in Studio Art from the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where they developed a love for sound art, sound design, and multichannel spatial audio installation. The heart of their practice is a single foundational concern: space and what to do with it ~ how space is or isn’t inhabited, perceived, and transformed.
Working with sound, moving image, sub-bass, drones, organ tones, field recordings, and multichannel spatial audio, X sculpts environments that register through the body, where vibration, resonance, and spatial arrangement guide perception, attention, and presence. The conceptual choreography of their work seeks to draw maps towards the doorway between the material and the metaphysical, offering audiences the opportunity to attune to subtle shifts in sensation and to converse with the unseen through fully embodied listening. They have collaborated on sound design projects with Anamika Singh at the Chazen Museum of Art, OYSTERKNIFE at Grace Cathedral and Paz G at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. Their work is made possible by god, spirit guides, angels, love, friends, teachers, time travel, strangers, music, mistakes, saturn, sound healing, synchronicities, pdfs, and probably you.
