 Hello 
 I make music 

 about 

r001-009_edited.jpg

Victoria Benito (b. 1993, Madrid) is an interdisciplinary composer, performer and researcher based in the UK. Her work draws upon experimental, pop, classical and electronic sounds, as well as film and visuals. Over the last couple of years, her compositions have revolved around everydayness, reflecting on her experience of the un-romantic and mundane aspects of life. As a performer, she plays synthesisers and MIDI keyboards and uses her voice to create eccentric, whimsical and dreamy sound worlds. She is also her own biographer.
