Christian Duka is a sound artist and curator working primarily with spatial audio. His practice moves between performance, improvisation, community organizing, and technical research — often blurring the boundaries between them.
He has collaborated with free improvisers including John Butcher, Ute Kanngiesser, David Toop, Sharon Gal, and Aimée Theriot, developing a performance practice that layers live electronics and ambisonic spatialization over acoustic gesture. His interdisciplinary projects include UR: Human Presence (with Jose Macabra, Pell Ensemble, and Elissavet Sfyri) and The Listening Body (with Hems, Merkaba Macabre, and Pascal Savy) — immersive works exploring sound as embodied presence.
As one half of MARMO (with Marco Maldarella) and Vādin (with Lucie Štěpánková/Avsluta), he has released albums on Utter, Offen, Area127, and Secuencias Temporales, exploring drone, ambient, and improvised electronics. His solo work includes Aural Cinema, a psychoacoustic composition investigating interoception and the body's response to spatial sound.
In 2019, he founded Amoenus, a non-profit organization supporting spatial sound in the arts through residencies, events, and the Amoenus Recordings label. He also curated Sonic Garden (London) and co-founded Kopshti Zanor (Tirana) — community-based ambient music gatherings. He has taught electronic music, audio production, and sound design at SAE London and Greenwich University. He currently works as Senior Spatial Sound Engineer at Alchemic Sonic Environment ( ASE ), a multidisciplinary project that integrates spatial audio, sensory technologies, and ancient harmonic systems to design immersive sound experiences aimed at enhancing emotional well-being and human connection through the transformational power of sound.
