Roberto Maqueda // Mitospora

Roberto Maqueda - experimental artist
Mitospora - club alias

Roberto Maqueda identifies himself as a heterodox artist operating in the spheres of experimental art, electronic music, and club culture. He is based in Basel. As a percussionist, he has taken up the art of drumming to a new level by applying engineering and sound automation to rhythms and building systems that revolve around the integration of separately performing acoustic and electronic music studios.

In the club scene, his techno alias Mitospora merges club sounds with sonic experimentation, navigating the boundary between underground and noise. Mitospora transforms raw energy into a shared experience—where dance and deep listening converge.

He co-directs FOG Festival (Basel) and previously co-directed EXIT Festival (Montevideo). He also headed reConvert, now the studio that produces his projects. He has been at such festivals as SONICA, Indigo, Manifeste, SPOR or MaerzMusik.
