Xico Ribas Tur

Xico Ribas (Ibiza) is an improviser and sound artist exploring the merging point between disruptive and post-natural soundscapes. 
Encouraged by an understanding of chance as nature's and awareness' most accessible voice, he focuses on the creation of generative live-sets with different degrees of noise or unpredictability. 
For him, subordinating human intention to nature’s order is a conscious choice, and making art through this lens becomes a statement as well as a spiritual practice. Xico's sound-world includes field recordings, acoustic piano, feedback and digital sound design, often experienced through DIY spatial audio setups. He is currently most involved in solo performance, collaborative projects and interdisciplinary artworks. Some recent highlights include the residencies WoO (2022) and Konvent-Suralita (2024–2025), playing a mix on Radio Alhara (2023), and the participation in 'Breathing Spaces' by Sonic Acts and 'Space as a Collective Sonic Instrument' by 4D Sound (both in 2024).
