Ergastirio, Ioanninon 15, kolonos
The Laboratory hosts Apostolos Loufopoulos, Professor at the Dept. of Audio & Visual Arts and Stelios Giannoulakis for a concert presenting works of acousmatic music on a multi-speaker system. Micro-montage and detailed sonic processing, bold compositions shaped from diverse sonic objects in the service of form and aesthetic function. As sounds are transformed and woven into a continuous flow, their source and cause play in the imagination as part of the music itself.
The works of Apostolos Loufopoulos are electronic in nature, at times with a cinematic/musical character, including pieces that have received awards in international competitions in Austria, France, Belgium, Italy, Greece, etc. (Ars Electronica, Musica Nova, Bourges, Metamorphoses, etc.). His output includes purely electronic works as well as pieces featuring recorded flute, arising from his collaboration with composer and performer Myrto Korkokiou.
Alongside him, the multi-award-winning composer Stelios Giannoulakis will present his own works of high acousmatic value, influenced by rock, fusion, and symphonic music, filtered through the language of electronic music and the medium of the loudspeaker orchestra (acousmonium).
Free entrance.
