Junichi Oguro aka GROK is the current International Resident at Digital Arts Studios from Sapporo, Japan. He is a sound designer who has worked with high profile companies and organisations such as Sony for the Playstation 3, OneDotZero and Adidas for the 2008 Olympics.

Oguro will be performing an ambient soundscape using recordings taken throughout the city of Belfast . Using MaxMSP he will involve a reactive visual element: using a video camera he will translate movement, light and colour into sound and constructed visuals.

In 2001, he won the Grand-Prix award in the Roland Groove Competition in 2001 and produced the Techno pattern for the Roland MC-909 groove.

Other artists Oguro has performed with include Ben Sims, Surgeon, DJ Sufflemaster, Co-Fusion, and John Kelly.

Hope to see you down by the river.
