Rey KM Domurat (1991) is a Polish audio engineer and activist based in Berlin.
The journey began with a passion for music that paved the way to producing experimental sound for dance performances, installations and film. Throughout their career, they have performed under various artist names, blurring genre boundaries with influences of jazz, trip-hop, IDM, ambient and techno music. Their aural-visual work has been featured at Berlin’s Schwules Museum, on BBC Worldwide, at Sophiensäle Berlin and Museum of Fine Art in Lausanne, Transgressive Cultures Conference at the University of Chicago Center in Paris, as well as in galleries and launches in New York, London, and Sydney.
Since 2014, they have led Uferlos Studios, working across recording, mixing, mastering and live sound engineering for various artists such as Sanni Est, Mala Herba, Queerdos, Rasha Nahas, and Maison Metamose, as well as social benefit projects such as 125-track long V/A TOTAL SOLIDARITY COMPILATION in support of the campaign against LGBTQ+ free zones in Poland; a 93-track long SONIC RESISTANCE - a benefit compilation for Rojava in solidarity for a feminist movement in Northern Syria; a 73 track long Radio Kapital’s Compilation for Bielarus in solidarity for the victims of repression; Pathways in Berlin - an initiative to connect and grow networks and raise the general visibility of underrepresented people in the music industry.
After graduating with honours of the Bachelor of Science in Audio Production and receiving a Diploma in Audio Engineering at SAE Institute Berlin (in partnership with the Middlesex University in London), from 2019 onwards Rey has been taking care of sound engineering for spaces like Savvy Contemporary, Whole - United Queer Festival, Soho House Berlin, CTM Festival and more..
In 2023 they founded U70 - an aural-visual production studio and digital archives, with an aim to facilitate, document, and amplify accessibility to live performance art produced by contemporary creators with diverse experiences of deconstructing heteronormativity, gender, cultural, and socio-economic backgrounds.
For their current collaborations, Dr Rey delivers immersive live act accompanied by visionary sound engineering - sculpturing a unique experience of sound, dialing between frequencies and pacing of the suspense and release throughout the performance.
Dr Rey plays with the audience improvising with psychoacoustics and exciting tangible vibrations by the employment of vogue technology: analog and digital machines, layering opera singing and instrumental soundscapes with AI processing.
The basic technical requirements for the show: careful soundcheck, budget for the industry standard soundsystem and setup time, laying out and special tuning of the chosen and relevant soundsystem in order to creatively harmonize with the unique acoustics of the individual event space - in the context envisioned for the show, followed by a sufficing rehearsal time depending on the complexity of the show.
