Mecha/Orga is the project and recording name of Greek sound artist Yiorgis Sakellariou.
Since 2003, he has been active internationally being responsible for solo albums, having composed music for short films
and theatrical performances, leading workshops and ceaselessly performing his music around the globe.

His practice is founded on the digital manipulation of environmental recordings. His palette of sounds is all encompassing;
from vibrating rail-tracks to refridgerators' static, and from noisy waterfalls to the humming of insects, all may find place in his arsenal.

He only performs in absolute darkness, fostering an all-inclusive and profoundly submerging sonic experience.

Yiorgis Sakellariou is a member of the Athenian Contemporary Music Research Centre (founded by I. Xenakis) and the Hellenic Electroacoustic Music Composers Association.
Since 2004 he curates the label Echomusic

-Sounds like they have been recorded near the sea, but then it could have been as easily hiss from cassettes or TV static
(Frans De Waard, Vital Weekly, NL)

-You have the impression of being buried alive and not able to see anything, no air to breathe,
only dull vibrations comes from the outside, indicating your perception is still working
(Dmitry Vasilyev, IEM magazine, RU)

-It sucks you in, wraps you tight and nearly stifles you
(Dan Warburton, Paristransatlantic, FR)

-Breathtaking rumble of an earthquake with overacute sibilances similar to crickets in a summer night,
everything slowly evolving into an almost unbearable, catastrophic power
(Massimo Ricci, Touching Extremes, IT)
