João Orecchia
- Composer
- Sound Department
João Orecchia is an artist and performer who makes things with sound. Sometimes those things sound like music. Sometimes they sound like nothing at all.
Through experimentation and improvisation Orecchia investigates the materiality of sound, seeking a balance between computer technology, hand made electronics and real world sounds such as the human voice and traditional musical instruments.
Orecchia performs with his band Motèl Mari which includes Mpumelelo Mcata and Tshepang Ramoba of BLK JKS, as well as improvised music with the likes of Lukas Ligeti, Jill Richards and Joseph Suchy.
