Amina Hocine (b.1991) is Swedish composer, sound artist, and instrument creator, currently pursuing her masters in electro acoustic composition at the Royal college of music in Stockholm. She writes both acousmatic and notated music for musicians, focusing on longform pieces, exploring minimal harmonic movements and static rhythmic gestures.

Her recent work has been centered around a self-made organ embodied from HVAC components, which produces mesmerizing drones with profound psychoacoustic effects. Drawing inspiration from spiritual sciences, she weaves detailed timbres and encourages deep listening in her compositions.
