More Info

Joao Ricardo was born in Porto, Portugal, in 1973.
His musical path started at the age of 6 with piano studies.
Years later he dedicated himself to the electric bass and guitar, as well as to the exploration of tools such as magnetic tape and software trackers.
The passage through several rock/metal bands and some incursions in the experimental music field led to the present ocp (operador de cabine polivalente) project.
In the advent of the new millenium, he dropped out of Law School and headed to London to study at Live Audio Engineering.
Back home, he created his own PA company and worked in a Casino for three years where he's had the opportunity to assist Diana Ross, Bobby McFerrin, Chaka Khan, Wilson Pickett, among others.
Presently, he dedicates himself to performing live and to composition/production/experimentation for multimedia forms Pygar with Hugo Olim and participates in two other musical projects: Boiar and F.R.I.C.S..
Throughout his career he's played alongside names like Mikael Stavostrand, ALOG, Tim Hecker, Kangding Ray, Fennesz, etc.
