Mecha/Orga is the project and recording name of Yiorgis Sakellariou.
Since 2003, 2 CDs and 5 CD-Rs have been released and Mecha/Orga has been presented live
in Greece, The Netherlands, the U.K., France, Belgium, Germany, Russia and Switzerland.
Mecha/Orga’s music and performances are mostly based on field recordings
(from passing trains to waterfalls and from refrigerator drones to desert winds),
which are filtered and mixed in real time, with the use of a laptop.
Yiorgis Sakellariou is involved with the contemporary and experimental music scene in Greece through his CD-R label “Echo Music”,
and as a member of the Contemporary Music Research Centre, and the Hellenic Electroacoustic Music Composers Association.
He’s also a participant in the Ear to the Earth organization and he has composed music for film and theatre plays.

-Breathtaking rumble of an earthquake with overacute sibilances similar to crickets in a summer night,
everything slowly evolving into an almost unbearable, catastrophic power
