Marc Alberto & João Renato Orecchia Zúñiga

Euro-Caribbean artist Marc Alberto (they/them) is a musical polyglot whose work seems to escape categorisation.

Besides developing a personal language as a saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist, as well as composing, improvising and performing electro-acoustic music – they have been working in a continuous carrousel of interdisciplinary collaborations as a sound artist, poet, arranger, songwriter, producer, director and performer.

João Renato Orecchia Zúñiga is an artist, composer and musician.

Through experimentation and improvisation Orecchia explores sound’s connective capacities through both its physical properties and material preconscious properties, seeking a balance between computer technology, field recordings and traditional musical instruments.

Orecchia’s background as a self-taught musician is in improvised performance and composition for video art, film and theatre. His practice extends to public performance and intervention and the completion of a master’s degree in Digital Arts brought a shift towards a more spatial and physical approach to composition, where sound, vibration, space, music and audience become connected in experience.

Orecchia participates in gallery and museum exhibitions with installation, video, drawing and printmaking. Orecchia has received a South African Film & Television Award for sound design and has published in the Leonardo Music Journal and the Oxford Handbook of Sound Studies. Orecchia is a co-founder and co-director of Motherbox, together with artists Lindiwe Matshikiza and Mmakgosi Kgabi.
