about

Orcaorca is a Japanese folktronica duo consisting of guitarist maya Kawadias and pianist arabesque Choche. Its woody and rusty flow of music coming from the mixture of both organic and inorganic elements invites the listeners to the another world.

Orcaorca-オルカオルカ-は男性二人によるフォークトロニカ系ユニット。
有機的要素と無機的要素を紡いだ、土臭く錆ついていて哀愁漂うその音流は、聴く者を仄かに温かい異世界に誘う。
