Music
Step into the sonic realm of mockART, my experimental music project that dances to its own beat. Here, in the vibrant landscape, mockART is my venture into uncharted musical territories, where I toss aside conventional patterns in favour of something refreshingly different.
The story of mockART began in the early 2000s when my trusty mobile phone, armed with a less-than-stellar camera, birthed abstract photos that seemed more artistic than accidental. Thus, the term “mockART” was coined. When my foray into music began, it only felt natural for this quirky name to take centre stage.
After navigating through various bands, I realised that my creative voice often got lost in the cacophony of egos. So, in 2005, mockART officially took flight as a solo project. The initial creation, “15 Partes del Mundo,” became a collaborative effort, marking the beginning of a fascinating musical journey.
As the years unfolded, mockART saw the release of albums like “Reflux Ux Bisou,” “ION,” and “Country Songs.” A brief hiatus in 2009 led me into the realms of photography and digital art, but mockART roared back to life in 2018. Enter Christoph Dorner, who joined as a core member in 2020, and together, we embraced the digital landscape during the pandemic, crafting albums like “Men Who Lost Their Heads,” and “views | interrupted.”
Beyond music, I don the hat of a visual artist and the creator of mockART. This project marries my love for experimentation, capturing unconventional sounds, and embracing collaborative creativity. In 2022, mockART’s musical tendrils extended to the exhibition “views | interrupted,” where we crafted a soundtrack interpreting the artworks, receiving acclaim from appreciative audiences.
Looking ahead, mockART envisions projects that weave together various art forms with music. You can find our albums on CD and major streaming platforms like Spotify, iTunes, Deezer, Tidal, Amazon Music, and YouTube Music.

While roaming the world, snapping photographs, I also recorded some field recordings which I published on SoundCloud as rabirius.
