Robin Rimbaud

Robin Rimbaud, better known by his alias Scanner, is a British electronic musician and sound artist whose work playfully blurs the lines between ambient music, avant-garde experimentation, and sonic storytelling. Active since the early 1990s, he gained attention for his innovative use of intercepted phone calls and radio signals in his compositions, creating eerily atmospheric soundscapes that feel both intimate and otherworldly. His recent releases—like *South London Originals* and *The Spaces You Hold*—showcase his knack for merging glitchy textures with emotive melodies, while collaborations such as *Kwartludium & Scanner* highlight his fascination with bridging classical and electronic realms. Beyond studio work, Scanner’s immersive sound installations and film scores (like *Staging Silence*) cement his status as a genre-bending pioneer who treats sound itself as a living, breathing material.
