FISURA + Arte Abierto presents Ataraxia, a sound-visual performance resulting from the collaboration between sound artist José Orozco Mora and audiovisual artist Valeria Vicente. In this piece, both practices converge through the combined use of analog and digital technologies, exploring the intersections between the visual, the sound and the performative. Valeria generates visual textures based on chemical reactions with inks and various materials, in addition to manipulating closed circuit video in real time. For his part, José works with modular synthesis and electroacoustic instruments designed and built by himself, giving rise to an immersive experience where image and sound are intertwined live.

He works with sound from multiple disciplines, including sound installation, sound design, composition, production and post-production, as well as experimental luthery. His work focuses on the exploration of sound with a particular focus on its physical properties and its relationship with acoustics and psychoacoustics. To do this, he experiments with alternative tunings, a careful selection of timbres and the spectral content of both acoustic and electronic instruments, many of which he designs and builds himself. This deep sound research has led him to work in various media and formats, such as sound installations and multichannel works.
He has been a fellow of the Young Creators program of PECDA Jalisco (2021 and 2024) and the Young Creators program of FONCA (2023). His recordings have been released by renowned record labels such as Cassauna/Important Records (USA), Hol Records (Mexico), Constellation Tatsu (USA) and Dablé Records (USA). His work has been presented in Mexico, Italy, the Netherlands, Germany, Greece, Austria, Switzerland, New Zealand and Denmark.
José is originally from Chapala, Jalisco, and currently lives in Mexico City.
