Since 2003, Yiorgis Sakellariou has been using the recording name Mecha/Orga. So far, he has released 2 CDs and 5 CDR's and has performed using his laptop in Greece, The Netherlands, England, France, Belgium, Germany, Russia and Switzerland. The live concept is performing in total darkness, without use of any visuals. He exclusively uses field recordings (from passing trains to waterfalls and from refrigerator drones to desert winds) that get filtered and mixed in real time with a completely phenomenological approach. He is actively involved in the contemporary and experimental music scene in Greece by running the recording label Echomusic (http://www.echomusic.gr), being a member of the Centre Of Contemporary Music Research (founded by Iannis Xenakis in 1979), and the Hellenic Electroacoustic Composers' Association. He is also member of the "Ear to the Earth" organization and he is writing articles about contemporary music. |
