THIS PERFORMANCE TAKES PLACE ON THE 3RD OF OCTOBER 20:00 ON LIVE NOW
SESSION TWO: CONJECTURE
Conjecture is the personal music/sound design project of the visual artist Vasilis Angelopoulos. The project roughly stays in a fixed musical pattern as its experiments are moving between different genres and concepts of the post-industrial underground, using mostly hardware synthesizers, metal sheets, piezo microphones, DIY impulse resposes “collected” from abandoned buildings, and tape manipulation to express his manifestos upon human existence, religious folklore stereotypes and transcendence through archetypal rituals, body deconstruction, human subtraction and murder. His live performances constitute a combination of sound and visual arts, using doubled projections and sculptures. In his live performance in Syd Records, he presents a live improvisation using tape-loops, digital loops and synthesizers, inspired by the ancient Greek tragedy Baccheae of Euripides.
Syd Sessions are casual meet and greet events that take place in a small - in size- record store named Syd, located at the beating heart of Athens, Greece. Artists have the opportunity to chat with their audience while people can watch exclusive gigs by both the ever-growing Athenian alternative scene and international artists that tour and stop by. Syd Sessions is a precious asset of the cultural life in Athens, broadly known for their excellent and affable events, which enrich the music activity in the city life.
For the 2nd ADAF online and the 17th edition of Athens Digital Arts Festival | tactus we formed a precious synergy, unlike any precedent, to present an exemplary program composed by extraordinary local electronic artists that we believe every digital enthusiast should know about and take notice of.
This program is materialising with the support of the audiovisual group, project 210 who aim in documenting the essence of the city of Athens, and by the precious curation of Manos Karakatsanis, renowned greek musician and mastermind behind Syd Sessions, all in the super interesting and slightly unconventional premises of Syd Records Store in Protogenous Str in Psyrri Athens.
All sessions are taking place in camera due to covid restrictions for physical spaces.
