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.

OCASO was a two-part ambient music series held on a rooftop in downtown São Paulo, produced by myself and Aline Vieira under the Meia Vida label. Each edition unfolded on a Sunday at sunset, blending live performances with late afternoon coffee into a single atmospheric experience.
Both editions followed a curatorial arc that began with more acoustic or organic acts and gradually transitioned into electronic sets, mirroring the fading daylight. The lineup featured local artists from São Paulo and Curitiba, including Aline Vieira, Joe Lirenti, Dharma Jhaz, Mari Herzer, Tom Monteiro, Sarine (from Deafkids and Teto Preto), Lorena Hollander, and Yantra (also from Deafkids). DJ sets were presented by mAdvil (first edition), and by Joe Lirenti and Aline Vieira (second edition).
Hosted at Laje, an independent rooftop space in the city center, the events ran from 5 to 9 p.m. and featured a carefully curated coffee table by Festim Gastronomia, including homemade cake, hand-brewed coffee, and sandwiches — chosen to reflect the warmth and intimacy of the moment.
CORES EM SUSPENSÃO
August 24, 2025
I’m the creator and producer of the first ambient and alternative electronic music festival in the city of Suzano, SP. Supported by the Aldir Blanc cultural incentive law, the event will take place at Parque Max Feffer — the city’s main public venue and a space of broad community reach.
The festival features a full Sunday of performances by artists from diverse backgrounds: Aline Vieira (aka Flores Feias, Curitiba/PR), Tom Monteiro (São Paulo/SP), Maria Anália (São João del Rei/MG), Dharma Jhaz (Curitiba/PR), and Satiê (Suzano/SP). The scenography is developed by Caio Kronig (Rio de Janeiro/RJ), and the visual identity is designed by Danilo Chamas (São Paulo/SP).
In addition to the performances, the event includes a workshop on experimental sound using improvised instruments — inviting participants into a hands-on exploration of non-traditional sonic practices.
This project stands out as a pioneering cultural initiative in the region, expanding access to experimental music outside of the big city.
