"What Origamibiro & The Joy of Box have on stage together is something totally organic. Utilising all manner of electronic technology and combining it with the flick of a dog eared book or the heavy fingered tap on an old typewriter they achieve a highly emotive and immensely satisfying experience on all levels"  - Oh Francis Magazine  

"Straddling the middle ground somewhere between electronic and acoustic, [Origamibiro} have a high level of intimacy and an organic quality that is contrasted and often mixed with digitally created tones and broken electronic sounds. At times the contrast is distinct but at others they compliment each other beautifully, the warmth and fragility of the guitar melodies amplified by just the right amount of discrete glitchy electronic effects." - igloomag.com

Imagine music and video playing a game together. And telling stories at the same time. That's what it's like to experience a performance by audio-visual collective, Origamibiro.

The collaborative trio merge found objects, unorthodox contraptions, multi instrumentalism and persistence of vision to create an atmosphere both nostalgic and otherworldly.

Together, musicians and producers Tom Hill and Andy Tytherleigh and video artist The Joy of Box make connections between seemingly unrelated elements and create a world that plays the scale of human emotions...  With atmosphere oozing from their fingertips, it's no wonder the Dublin Fringe Festival described Origamibiro as "undoubtedly the most original offering of the fringe calendar" 

"A truly beautiful blend of the glitchy electronic soundscapes of the likes of Fennesz with some stunning Spanish and classical acoustic guitar... A really beautiful meeting of electronic trickery and live acoustic sounds." - Roadrecs review
