Biography


Simina Oprescu (b. 1993) is a Romanian electroacoustic composer and sound artist whose work explores sound's physical, perceptual, and emotional dimensions across the audible and inaudible spectrum. Combining electroacoustic composition, spatial sound, and psychoacoustics, she approaches sound as both material and affect — a force that shapes perception, presence, and relation.

Her practice blends synthetic and natural elements, drawing from diverse sound sources and field recordings from physical and natural environments. Working across stereo and multi-channel formats, Oprescu investigates how sound resonates within space and the body, engaging with ideas of attention, unity, and the vibratory nature of matter. Her work gravitates toward intimacy, inviting porous, open-ended listening experiences that drift between scientific inquiry and poetic exploration.

Oprescu’s compositions have been presented internationally at festivals, galleries, and institutions including EVA International | Ireland’s Biennial, Museum Tinguely (Basel), Märkisches Museum (Berlin), Palmer Gallery (London), Art Encounters Foundation, MOTA Museum (Slovenia), n.b.k Berlin, Hošek Contemporary (Berlin), Suprainfinit Gallery (Bucharest), MARe Museum of Recent Art (Bucharest), SONICA (Slovenia), Cynetart (Germany), Rokolectiv (Romania), Simultan (Romania), and ORF musikprotokoll (Austria).

Her works have been released on the Swiss label Hallow Ground and featured in publications such as The Quietus, The Wire, and Positionen Berlin. In 2020, she was selected for the SHAPE+ platform artist roster, contributing to its focus on emerging sound and audiovisual practices. Rooted in research and guided by a commitment to listening as an act of care and inquiry, Oprescu’s practice bridges technical experimentation and sound's subtle, transformative potential.
