Info
d4m4g3 by Afroditi Psarra is an improvised composition through the use of three handmade embroidered synthesizers with embedded LilyPad Arduino micro-controllers and miscellaneous electronic components, an Electro-Harmonix 60 Seconds Digial Delay pedal and a 4-channel mixer.
Apostates by Georgios Karamanolakis is a mix of field recordings of already existing spaces decomposing into one place. More accurately, sounds from ships amidst storm and vibrations from diesel motors driven inside a modular synthi – E that is set up in free running mode.
Background
Afroditi Psarra is a media artist working with diy electronic crafts and creative coding. Her interest on sound art was developed through her experimentation with e-textiles and the use of micro-controllers for creating 8-bit rhythms and square wave noises.
Georgios Karamanolakis is an explorer/observer of various systems and situations. The main interest of his practice consists of collecting sounds and images from hidden urban spaces and post-apocalyptic structures. The sense of memory, dystopia and mystic retro-futurism form the elements of study.
