Miss Saturation is a free music improvisation and automatic writing ensemble. It combines spoken word formed in real time, accompanied by viola, keyboards and live electronics. Miss Saturation enacts modes of storytelling similar to the rhapsody genre, where the poet under the guidance of a muse, was transcribing music onto words. Miss Saturation is that muse. The ensemble was established by Yiannis Loukos (keyboards, electronics), Natasha Papadopoulou (voice) and Eleftheria Togia (viola) in Athens and since 2015 has appeared in festivals and art spaces all over Europe, including Nottingham Contemporary Museum (Nottingham), Perdu (Amsterdam), Biennale5 (Thessaloniki), Stedelijk Museum Bureau (Amsterdam), Kunsthalle Athena (Athens). During these years the group has collaborated with numerous artists and musicians, such as Danai Anesiadou and Stefanos Theodorakis. At the moment Miss Saturation is collaborating with Daphne Tsiouni in the process of releasing their first album ‘S’. Lives and records in Europe.
