Carlo Patrão is a Portuguese sound artist and researcher based in New York with a background in clinical psychology and experimental radio. He uses collage, sampling, and found audio to explore how listening functions within social systems, grounding his work in humor and the tension between voice, power, and control. His radio work has been commissioned and featured on international radio stations and in audio festivals, including Radiophrenia, On Air Fest, and NAISA. He likes to write about sound studies, plant music, misophonia, and the poetics of balloon music and has shared his independent research at Harvard University and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Denver.
