João Orecchia

I like it the loop.

About Me

João Orecchia's music is built around sounds, melodies and loops. The heart of his music stems from guitar and prepared guitar, accompanied by other instruments such as toy keyboard, melodica and electronics, plus a range of effects and self made samples. Teetering somewhere between song and soundscape, slightly experimental, the result has a beautiful and sometimes epic quality ............................................................ .... ............................................................ ................................................... Perched on a mountain of effects, loop pedals, cables and instruments, João gives the impression of piloting a private space ship on an exploration of sound, inviting his audience on a subtle journey of emotion, nostalgia and euphoria................. ............................................................ ................................................... Originally from Brooklyn, New York, João spent 5 years in Berlin, Germany where he joined up with Blankrecords (www.blankrecords.de). His first full length album, Motherless Brooklyn is out now. João has also composed music for theater, dance performance, film, installation and television ..................................................... ............................................................ ............................................................ .
