Joel’s Bio
Joel has always been deeply passionate about music, and over the last few years, has crafted a collection of songs inspired by the pain, joy, and beauty of the healing process. A significant aspect of this journey has been discovering his voice and overcoming a lifelong fear of being seen. He describes his music as “simple songs from the soul.” This concert marks his debut, a long-awaited dream coming to fruition!
Otorongo Bio
Award-winning music producer, multi-instrumentalist, and educator Paul Gaeta has over two decades of experience in sound. He’s explored a wide range of musical styles and formats, having released 10 full-length records to date, mainly through his own imprint, Circuitree Records.
Gaeta is a dedicated educator, having led workshops for companies like Ableton Live, Moog Music, and Keith McMillen Instruments. He spent over a decade at Moog Music as a tour guide, educator, and consultant in instrument design. Recently, he’s crafted his own line of bamboo flutes and chakapas.
After hip surgery in 2019, Gaeta’s musical output has been largely ambient, having started a new project, Otorongo, which incorporates his passion for the flute and ancient musical traditions with modern production methods, and is composed with the intention to aid in focused meditation and relaxation. He regularly hosts community sound baths and kirtans in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina.
