Okkre
̸
Biografía
- Okkre is the solo project of Gijón-based sound artist Uge Pañeda, formerly half of the LCC duo. Her live performances are powerful experiences with gargantuan and majestic heavy rhythmics that border on the edge between industrial and techno.OKKRE is the new project of Uge Pañeda, composer and producer of the now extinct female duo LCC (Editions Mego). LCC’s first publication D/evolution (Editions Mego, 2014) was a highly acclaimed album, which rapidly placed them in the international spotlight and worldwide festival circuit. LCC’s last album -Bastet- was recorded and produced in EMS Stockholm (Sweden), IAC Malmö (Sweden) and her studio in Gijón (Spain), and was world-premiered at Sónar Festival 2017 as an A/V show in collaboration with the visual artist Pedro Maia. Bastet was also showcased at Berlin Atonal or Mutek Mexico among other festivals. Now under the OKKRE moniker, she´s collaborating with the choreographer Aimar Pérez Galí producing an unprecedented music piece for 'Epica', a dance performance with live soundtrack, produced by Mercat de les Flors in collaboration with Sónar Festival. The performance revolves around the liberation of human bodies through different sound patterns and reflecting on club culture inside a theatre. The score has been released on vinyl by MOM (Modern Obscure Music 2018). Her most recent studio work is Arkhé, having its Spanish premiere at L.E.V Festival 2018, followed by several dates in South America and Spain. Her latest releases have been remixed tracks of respectively 'Empty Airport Rmxs' (Editions Mego, 2019) by Chra and Reconnect Remixes (Eotrax, 2019) by Eomac; together with artists like Fennesz, Pita or Silvia Kastel for the first and Errorsmith, Kyoka, Renick Bell, Dylan Henner or Nene H for the latter. OKKRE is a frequent documentary and experimental cinema music composer. She recently contributed to the 'I hate New York' documentary soundtrack -directed by Gustavo Sanchez-, sharing credits with renowned artists such as Arca, Ryuichi Sakamoto or Koreless among others. She has also produced several soundtracks for documentaries with provocative sociopolitical character: 'Free: Hadijatou contra l'estat', 'Ciutat Morta', 'La Llucha', or T'arajal'. Moreover, some of her works have been awarded in prestigious film festivals - such as Málaga Festival or San Sebastián International Film Festival. Currently, she is working in a series of experimental short videos in collaboration with mexican visual artists Egroj. OKKRE represents the immersion within a creative process based on the coexistence of her different trainings and musical sensibilities; it is the polyhedron that embraces various faces of the same figure in interaction with diverse artistic expressions. As psychologist, she likes to deepen the impact that sound has on the emotional state and human behavior.̸RELEASES Reconnect Remixes by Eomac - Eotrax (2019) https://eotrax.bandcamp.com/album/reconnect-remixes Ghost (Chra Rmxs) - Editions Mego (2019) - EMEGO 244X http://editionsmego.com/release/EMEGO-244X Épica LP (OST) - Modern Obscure Music (2018) - MOM 012 https://modernobscuremusic.bigcartel.com/product/epica-by-okkre MIXES Secret Thirteen - STM 270 https://secretthirteen.org/stm-270-okkre/ XLR8R - Experimental Bliss https://www.xlr8r.com/news/okkre-shares-new-mix
