Nikos Kyriazopoulos | ΜIZI

Nikos Kyriazopoulos and MIZI will present two sets of electronic improvised music at KET on Friday, March 13th.

MIZI (Yiorgos Mizithras) is a musician and a sound artist. He is active as both a composer and a performer in a range of fields, including acousmatic music, improvisation, sound art, music for theatrical plays and audiovisual installations. At KET, he will present his project “Rummaging the Medium”. “Rummaging the Medium” aims to reveal the hidden sounds and the true nature of the phonographic apparatus, through the manipulation and interruption of transparent normative operation. The discursive and material manifestations of culture are emphasized through collage like-environments of found LPs, EPs and cassette tapes. The stored information are giving way to the sound of the moving parts, the sound of the storage surface and electromagnetic interference. In “Rummaging the Medium” information and noise are in a constant, unstable flux.

Nikos Kyriazopoulos is a musician with a wide range of interests in the field of electronic music. He has collaborated with many noise and experimental musicians in Greece and abroad. He is now methodically involved with the construction of his own modular synthesizer, which, in addition to its obvious use as an electronic source for audio production, it can be also treated as an instrument with a range of capabilities comparable to those of acoustic instruments. The finely tuned drone ripples, the pulse, the noise dynamics and the unpredictable are some of his central concerns.
