The Music Folder #24 | Scanner

In this new episode of The Music Folder, we talk to Robin Rimbaud, also known as Scanner, pioneering sound artist and composer, in conversation with critic and curator Marco Mancuso.

Described as a “flâneur èlectronique”, Scanner reflects on the evolution of his creative process, from early experiments with intercepted voices via radio scanners to the transformative power of collaboration. Rimbaud shares memories of meeting figures like John Cage and Merce Cunningham, and reflects on how disciplined time management allows him to pursue a vast array of projects while preserving joy and curiosity at the core of his practice.
