NUMBER STATIONS (Nikos Fokas, Petros Labridis)

Nikos Fokas: modular synths, electronics

Petros Labridis: analog synths, pedals

From World War I to the present day, radio stations have been broadcasting short voice, numeric or Morse code messages that, some speculate, are instructions to an international network of agents. These speculations fuel endless conspiracy theories. Several watchdog cells have been set up to unravel this mystery. The musical project by Nikos Fokas and Petros Labridis is inspired by these codes, attempting to create a sound decoder open to interpretation.

Musician and sound artist, Nikos Fokas (modular synths, electronics) lives and works in Athens. He is a member of Vault of Blossomed Ropes, Black Lesbian Fishermen and, with Alan Trench, the project Hanged upon the Tree of Life.

Petros Labridis (analog synths, pedals) lives and works in Athens. He is a member of Riza, Johnie Thin Trio, Athenian Mandolinata, Michalis Brouzos Quartet, Gutter Dark Baroque and collaborates with Sofia Sarri.
