Program note:
Still inside, for fixed media is a work composed with sound samples (World 1) as well as using a library of Sound Synthesis maxmsp patches developed by myself (World 2). It comprises Additive, Subtractive, Stochastic Synthesis patches as well as a patch featuring generative processes. The final form of the work was sculpted on Ableton Live. It features the changes in which a human’s brain could be subjected under “inside home” conditions. Yet, even inside we keep dreaming about an outdoors place. Low frequency powerful sounds are featured throughout the work. In the beginning, they are obvious, but later in the work these sounds would emerge out of total silence. Culmination points exist many times, not as aesthetic means but rather as a morphological tool which carries the burden of sonic development.

Still inside got its premiere at Viberation#2 soundscape project in Marseille at the Vieux Port on July 10th 2021 and was streamed on P-Node webradio, https://p-node.org/

String Quartet No. 3 is the result of exploration of technology and tradition. The piece was
composed entirely within Ableton Live, utilizing a custom Max for Live (M4L) patch that I
developed using Max/Msp visual programming environment. At its core, the composition is
driven by four oscillators that interact and blend, each contributing to the sonic fabric of the
work. The transcription of the material from Ableton into conventional notation was undertaken at a subsequent stage of the process. These synthesized elements aim to engage with and expand upon the timbral palette of the string quartet, an ensemble whose sonic possibilities have been continually redefined since its establishment in the common practice era.

This work received its premiere during the MIAM 25th Anniversary Gala, commemorating a quarter-century since the department's founding.

Hangover Boy - The Intoxication Show December 2012

String Quintet  "Sich Motivieren" Kammerensemble Konsonanz

How can form  evolve under a nowadays psychological framework? Is it more difficult to compose long or short pieces and is there any morality in it that serves as a proof of the composer’s skills? My musical interests are focused on a personal composition method that started from my late integrated masters years in Thessaloniki and which eventually was the subject of my PhD research in York. It used to serve as a preliminary stage for an instrumental composition; however, since 2017 the “Selective Subtraction of tone and rhythmic material” composition technique serves as a tool to create but mostly to sculpt the tone and rhythmic material of the instruments that will interweave with the electronics. As its name signifies it is based on a subtractionprocess that gives a certain amount of material. This material forms the basis for an evolutionary process where finally, all these elements are combined in order to give the final piece. Under the scope of electronics it incorporates computational methods like Csound software, Ableton Live and MaxMasp (Sound Synthesis private patch library) in the direction of finding new ways of pattern development and thus evolution of the form.
