Juan Orozco is an Argentine musician, composer, sound designer, experimental artist, and DIY sound builder based in Berlin since 2017. His work focuses on the exploration of sound from a critical and expanded perspective, with a strong emphasis on how technology shapes the production and reception of art. His work is shaped by the political, material, affective, historical, and technological conditions in which it is conceived and performed. He combines electronic instruments, wind instruments (low brass), non-Western instruments, and custom-built devices in installations, performances, and compositions presented across South America and Europe.

Alongside his artistic practice, Orozco has developed an extensive pedagogical activity. Between 2003 and 2008, he led music workshops in prisons, schools, and marginalized neighborhoods in Buenos Aires, as well as courses on Afro-Uruguayan music traditions and private classes in guitar and music theory. In Berlin, he continues this line of work as the creator of the platform Otherthings, dedicated to fostering an intergenerational sound community through workshops and the development of instruments such as his own version of the Drawdio, and the Minisynth, a fully analog modular synthesizer created in close collaboration with Manecolabs for the workshop “Introduction to Modular Synthesis for Kids.” Since 2023, he has also conducted workshops annually at the miniBOOTH in Berlin — the first two years focusing on the Drawdio, and more recently introducing kids to playful approaches to modular synthesis. Otherthings also includes an editorial side, OTseries, which publishes experimental sound releases and archival projects.

He runs his private studio in Berlin and is also the founder and curator of Transradio, an annual gathering, mini-residency, and sound activation that takes place in La Plata, Argentina, with four editions to date.
