Uge Pañeda

OKKRE is the new personal 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 (Finland)

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 has recently collaborated with the choreographer Aimar Pérez Galí producing an unprecedented

music piece for 'Epica', a dance performance 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 2017).

Her most recent studio work is Arkhé, recently having its European premiere at L.E.V Festival 2018, followed by several dates in South

America and Spain. Her upcoming ‘KBN Rmx' will soon be released within the album 'Empty Airport Rmxs' (Editions Mego) by Chra,

together with other artists like Fennesz or Pita.

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.
