GROND opens its doors for an electronic-improvisation music concert. Marinos Koutsomichalis (GR/CY) will open the evening with a solo post-human radio performance utilizing his DIY instruments. In the second half of the evening, the GROND member Fani Konstantinidou will join him for a duo live electronics improvisation set.
Marinos Koutsomichalis is an artist, scholar, and creative technologist based in Greece and Cyprus. He is broadly interested in the materiality of self-generative systems, (post)digital objecthood, sound, image, data, electronic circuitry, perception, selfhood, landscapes/environments, and the media—technologies we rely upon to mediate, probe, interact with.
Post-human radio is an open-ended laboratory vis á vis radiofrequencies and radio related technologies. It manifests in a number of different fashions; most notably as an audio-based improvised performance piece, but also with a series of bespoke instruments, micro-compositions, a diary of SWLing (shortwave listening) and QSOs (amateur radio contacts), field radio-walks, and other.
Fani Konstantinidou is a composer and performer interested in the sonic imprints of cultural, cross-cultural, and social identities. Her musical ideas are expressed in various formats such as site-specific and multichannel compositions, improvisation, and through collaborative projects with artists of various disciplines. Within this context, she performs live-electronics and composes music for solo instruments and small ensembles.
