Yiorgis Sakellariou (GR)<\/span><\/h3>\n

Yiorgis Sakellariou is an electroacoustic music composer, recordist and researcher. Since 2003, he has been active internationally being responsible for solo and collaboration albums, having composed music for short films and theatrical performances, leading workshops and ceaselessly performing his music around the globe.<\/span><\/p>\n

His practice focuses on the communal experience of listening and the communication between composer, audiences, performance spaces and the rest of the physical and supernatural world. His sonic material is founded on the digital manipulation of environmental recordings. The palette of sounds is all encompassing; from vibrating rail-tracks to refrigerators\u2019 static, and from noisy waterfalls to the humming of insects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He completed his PhD at Coventry University (April 2018). His research drew inspiration from ethnomusicological and anthropological contexts and explored the sonic symbolism and socio-aesthetic settings in ecstatic religious rituals in relation to field recording, electroacoustic composition and acousmatic performance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yiorgis Sakellariou is a member of the Athenian Contemporary Music Research Centre, the Hellenic Electroacoustic Music Composers Association and the Lithuanian Composers Union. Since 2004 he has curated the label Echomusic. He is currently a lecturer at Vytautas Magnus University and an assistant lecturer at the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre.<\/span><\/p>\n
