Onar

Onar cover

A composition for electronic instruments and voice. It is my 1st LP album (1989); a personal initial proposal for the use of music technology means. This work participated and was awarded a prize at the “Soundscape” Pan-European Competition of Musical Composition and Technology (Norwich, Great Britain). Lyrics by Hariklia Vassiliou. Sung by Katerina Karatza. Later it reappeared in a CD form (in 1995) along with my 2nd LP album, “Beatrice”.

Dangerous Confrontations

A composition for the stage performance of the same title. The first co-operation with actress/director Tina Stephanopoulou and an initial exploration of connecting music-sound and theatrical text, within a form where the two elements are equivalent, where neither feature plays an accompanying role.

Mandelbrot Suite

A composition that combines electronic and acoustic instruments (guitar, violoncello), dedicated to the great scientists who established the Chaos Theory (1992).

Topos-2 or Paradise Has No Apple Tree

A composition for a series of works by painter Herman Blaut. A only 15min piece but of decisive importance. As a continuation of the problematics about music technology that started with “Onar”. As a clear view about relating music with fine-arts. As the core of the dance / theatre performance “Isimeries”.

Musica Practica

Musica Practica cover

A work based on my attempt to form a personal proposal for a creative approach of music technology, a route that started with “Onar”. With this work I developed my concept of “Musical Praxis – Action”. I created a series of pieces with no aesthetic prejudices using electronic sound with no prejudices regarding the stylistic freedom. 3rd discography (CD -1995).

The Devil with the Candlestick

A work for guitar and voice based on poems by Tassos Leivathitis (1996).

Isimeries

A series of three stage pieces including music, dance and painting. They were completed between 1996 and 1998 in co-operation with dancer / choreographer Efi Tsolakidou. With this work I connected deeply with the dance field, attempting to combine creatively my music with other forms of art.

Tribute to Leon

A work for a dancer, a “Theremin” (the monumental electronic instrument in the beginning of the century), and pre-recorded music made up exclusively by Theremin samples. This experimental piece was completed in co-operation with dancer Efi Tsolakidou (1997) as a tribute to the exceptional personality of its inventor, Leon Theremin.

The Woman of Zakithos

A composition of spoken text and sound based on a Dionysios Solomos’ story (text interpreted by the actor Dimitris Karellis (1998). This work is structured on the classical radio-theatre style (yet, in this case there is a monologue, regarding the text). The music is all original, implying numerous samples very subtly and thoroughly elaborated. The sound part is not simply a mood-decorative “sound-carpet” for the voice, since it is composed to follow very closely the narration. The whole idea of such a kind of work was much further developed later, in my last composition, which was the audio part of the project “Ars Moriendi”.

In memoriam

A work composed to support the performance of the same title by the State Theatre of Northern Greece in October 1998. Directed by Dimitris Karellis.

Phoenisses

This work was officially released in a CD form in 1999 when I developed further a composition of 1995. At that time I had the idea of creating an independent performance based on this tragedy that would be structured with just sound and movement without words, a project similar but much more ambitious than “Isimeries”.

During the next 4 years I wrote the fully detailed sound/movement performance “script”. I cooperated for this purpose partly with the dancer Efi Tsolakidou. I completed the musical part developing much further that first version of 1995, transforming it in a stand-alone work which is my 4rth discography (CD, 1999).

During the same year (1999) I co-operated with dancer choreographer Amalia Strinopoulou working on the pre-existing conceptual core of the complete performance. The final result, entitled “Myth fragments: Phoenisses”, was presented at the “Dimitria festival – 1999”.

This work is a definitive turning point in my composing style and my perspective on music technology (a pathway that opened with “ONAR” and went on with “MUSICA PRACTICA”). Furthermore, this work, is a personal approach on aesthetic and stylistic references to the Greek traditional sound.

Ars Moriendi

Ars Moriendi cover

This work is my 5th discography, and his my composition, before focusing on Gestalt therapy.

It consists of a SOUND part and a VISUAL one. Both of them, are integrated in a broader idea, the Ars Moriendi multimedia PROJECT. This project was to be realised supported by the Thessaloniki Municipality, but was finally never produced.

The Ars Moriendi SOUND part consists of a story unfolding along with music and some autonomous vocal pieces. This sound part of the work, appeared in an autonomous CD format.

The Ars Moriendi VISUAL part was created in the computer from about 350 scanned paintings and photos. The same visual part appears within the form of (a) slides and the form of (b) images.

The slides are projected while the sound part is heard. The images can be exhibited independently from the rest of the presentation. As a “stand alone” conceptual content, they are different than the original work’s one. Whenever were presented in an exhibition, they were entitled “…the dream of a city that no longer remembers breathing…” since the idea of the city and the urban environment are its main themes.

Many of his works, mentioned as well as unmentioned above, are associated with drama and dance performances or experimental stage actions and other events, such as the musical accompaniment of short films and numerous documentaries. His works have been presented at recitals, performances as well as on the radio and television, mainly in Greece and sometimes abroad.
