JOE LIRENTI
I’m a 27-year-old artist based in São Paulo, Brazil, working across music, photography, body, and space. My approach is shaped by context and collaboration — starting from atmosphere, process, and concept rather than fixed outcomes. My work moves between mediums and follows a set of recurring themes: texture, decay, and the tension between structure and looseness.
Each project — whether mixing a record, tattooing, scoring a film, or building a zine — acts as a vessel for something specific, often fragile or unresolved. I’m drawn to dissonance and distortion, not as style, but as ways of expressing vulnerability. I often collaborate with artists in different countries, responding to shifting conditions — environmental, psychological, and formal.

PILGRIM (ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK)
Composed and Produced by Melt Motif:
Joe Lirenti & Kenneth Rasmus Greve
The soundtrack for Pilgrim is built around atmosphere and tension, using layered synthesis, off-grid rhythms, and evolving motifs to mirror the film’s surreal pace. Avoiding traditional scoring structure, the music leans into unease and momentum, supporting the imagery without explaining it. The film is currently in post-production, but the full soundtrack has been available for streaming since April 2024. In this project I arranged the whole album/OST, recorded extra instrumental layers giving cohesion to Kenneth's loops and Rakel's vocals, and mixed everything.
Directed by Erik Ferguson, Pilgrim is a long-form visual project that blends cinematic dream logic with dense surreal imagery. Ferguson’s previous work includes Fantastic Fungi (Netflix), Rihanna’s MTV VMA performance, and collaborations with Gorillaz, St. Vincent, Alan Walker, Steve Aoki, The Horrors, and ZHU — whose “Dreams” video earned a New Directors’ Showcase award from Ridley Scott.
