Angelus Novus

I'm the queen in snow-white 
Want to be the best world wide
Think of new strategy every night 
I'm the sister in Cinderella 
For the crown I don't have fear
I give my blood and tear
Because I must be the winner

Do you know The girls' life ends at twenty three
You must sell yourself like a Christmas tree
But no one wants a wife who's only pretty
At least you need an ivy league degree

Piano, chess, ballet, French, calligraphy  
Work 20 hours you still have 4 to sleep 
Remember to calculate your calories 
50 kilo is the number you can't exceed 

Good, better, best... It's still not perfect.
“Have you heard of the training for dating?”

Patriarchy made a demon like me
Maiden, milf, bunny girl, nothing I can't be
Capitalism made a demon like me
I fueled for the rat race with infinite energy

A demon like me
Who makes you scream
A demon like me
Let you cry and bleed
A demon like me
Catches you in your dream
You can once escape
But you'll come back to me
A demon like me
Whom you always seek
A demon like me
In your heart so deep
A demon like me
Teach you to be free
Only in the pain
You know what is joy

Good, better, best... It's still not perfect.
“You need to practice the makeup, and make it look like you don’t use it. Cause you need to be seducing, but you can’t be so apparent.”

Patriarchy made a demon like me
Cook, nurse, professor, nothing I can't be
Capitalism made a demon like me
I'm a hybrid of beast and machinery

Demon Like Me

Ngoma 2 and the seekers

Konstantinos Baras, a Greek composer with a passion for complex and saturated sound, embarked on his musical journey following a diagnosis of HanDL syndrome at the age of 18. Baras is recognized for creating works that convey intense emotions and delve into the complexities of trauma, employing visceral, chaotic sounds marked by a continuous energy flow and aggressive gestures. 

Utilizing digital signal processing, noise, distortion and live interactivity, Baras extends the timbral profile of traditional instruments and seamlessly blends disjunct materials into unified structures. With interest in site-specificity and interdisciplinary collaboration, he works often with dancers and movement artists and engages creatively with space, lights, and visual effects. 

His continued entanglement with black metal and techno contributes to an arrestingly distinctive sound palette, exploring the potential of repetition and bodily mechanics to intensify a sound’s impact on the listener. Toward that aim, Baras organizes his compositions through various processes of iteration and fragmented circularity, manipulating duration and density, often utilizing repetitive material but subtly altering it with every reappearance. The end result is driving, gripping, and grave.

His music has been performed and commissioned by Ensemble Modern, Ensemble Intercontemporain Moscow Contemporary Ensemble (MCME), Vertixe Sonora Ensemble,Ensemble Multilaterale, among other, with performances in festivals and conferences such as, IRCAM ManiFeste, MIXTUR, Darmstadt, reMusik, ilSuono, Ticino Musica, among others.

Currently pursuing a PhD in Composition at Northwestern University, Baras holds Masters degree from Boston University, and Bachelors degree Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.
