“plugged-in/alternating currents”

Alexandros Georgiadis presents a series of original works of electroacoustic music, composed between 2006 and 2015. These works (“Lamento elettronico”, “Virtual world”, “Electronic etudes I+II”, “P-Lock”, “WaterMusic” and “The City”) embrace a wide range of musical influences, from atonal organ music and avant-garde to ambient and new age, from the works of Stockhausen, Feldman or Xenakis to the compositions of Vangelis and Jean-Michel Jarre.

In the second part, Georgiadis improvises with the band “The Abstract Guitarist & friends” with influences from ambient, 70s rock, Tangerine Dream and noise.

The evening concludes with a short improvisational electronic noise set with configurations and structural variations.
