Agnès Pe (Lleida, 1985) holds a BA in Audiovisual Communication and followed the MA course in Social Communication at Universitat Pompeu Fabra. She pursued some of her studies in Mexico City.

A researcher and self-taught musicologist, she is interested in the exception, that which brushes up against the social margins, and particularly in the environment that generates audio content via the Internet (prosumers), such as the remix and the cut-up. She works with sound as a physical material and disregards any limitation imposed by musical genres or styles. Her audio production seeks new ways of relating to the elements that she recomposes using atonality, altered melodies and strident textures. Fundamental characteristics of her oeuvre are her boundless curiosity, interdisciplinary practices, the limits of the context and the deceptive stance she adopts towards the various elements with which she works. Speeded-up classical, symphonic eurodance, punch melodies, black midi, happy slapped, terminal punch, humpatech, crossover thrash, no genre, midtechno, hardlaptop and powermid are just some of the labels that could be used to define her music.

She has done concerts and auditions at CA2M (Móstoles),the Reina Sofía (Madrid), MACBA (Barcelona), MediaLab Prado (Madrid), Piksel Festival (Bergen), Larraskito (Bilbao) and Tabakalera (Sant Sebastián). She contributes every year to the Zarata Fest: Festival de Música Extraña, the main venue for which is in Bilbao. She has worked on the sound postproduction for a number of films and theatre pieces. She has been awarded grants for residencies at Nau Estruch (Sabadell, 2016), El Ranchito Matadero (Madrid, 2017), URRA (Buenos Aires, 2017) and Homesession (Barcelona, 2018). She currently runs the Mitt Paté plunderphonia and kitsch sound programme on Radio On, based in Berlin.
