Andrea Ludovic VE

Venezuelan producer, musician, sound designer, artist and engineer, also known as MsSpknsS

Introspective noise meditation, industrial drone and deep synthetic dub converge in Andrea Ludovic’s sound experiments. Live, she cuts a dark arc through bass music and invites emotional release through provocative, interconnected sound and visuals. Born in Caracas, Andrea Ludovic played piano and studied music theory throughout her youth, though she followed a scientific path into university, majoring in electronic engineering. Combining these two streams of knowledge, she developed a digital FPGA synthesizer as her final thesis work, carving out a path in electronic music that would lead through acoustics and digital sound processing into digital synthesis and psychoacoustic concepts. Her ongoing solo project, MsSpknsS, takes her into darker realms of fast-paced jungle and IDM with allusions to rock-metal. With fellow producers, she formed online digital art, sound-coding and glitch-noise label Musica Culpable in 2006. She moved to exploring synthesis and sound art with visual and sound installation artists, dancers and performance artists. Her self-released box set, AILM, also goes beyond music, incorporating art by Angel Marquez-Burguera and expanding into a live showcase with performers and stylists, including video mapping and live cinema.
