\ud83d\udd37 Sofia Zafeiriou is a sound artist and composer based in Athens. Her practice approaches listening as a relational and political method, working across sound, technology and social processes. She will perform a live electronic set, combining her computational sound practice with recordings from gorges, streams and dried wells, coils from the trash and subterranean vibrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udd37 Taylor Savage was born and raised in Athens, carving out his sound as a DJ in the city\u2019s bars and late-night parties. In his live sets, he tears through scratched, skipping CDs, twisting them with effects and no-input techniques into a raw collage of cut-up noise. In this latest iteration of his live performance a guitar is added further expanding his sonic explorations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The performance by Penelope Bekiari and Kostas Katsantonis, \u201cReciprocal Images,\u201d explores the point where the analog and the digital coexist. Piano, biomusic, and analog sound create a living soundscape, where biometric data is converted into a signal, traverses digital and analog pathways, and returns to the space as sound. A live performance centered on the body, technology, and the question: Who has the control?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udd37 Sound artist Penelope Bekiari explores the relationship between sound, the body, and technology. Her work focuses on biomusic, biofeedback, and the use of biometric data in live performance and electroacoustic composition. She has presented her work at international festivals and conferences in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udd37 Kostas Katsantonis moves between analog noise, live sound processing, and electroacoustic composition. Through feedback, distortion, and analog systems, he treats sound as a material with its own energy and behavior. His work ranges from live performances and installations to music for digital and audiovisual projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every month, KET hosts Spoken Maik<\/strong>, a poetry and spoken word<\/strong> event curated by Niki Papadogiannaki <\/strong>and Stavros Anagnou<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the closing of the season, a special evening is organized that returns to the essence of spoken word\u2014a profound and multifaceted phenomenon, even though at its core it is nothing more than people sitting in a dark room and listening to one another: a practice as old as time itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spoken word opens windows to other worlds: a space where we share our inner world\u2014or the way we see the world. We may live alongside many people and many stories, but we rarely share them. And it\u2019s not just about the story itself; it\u2019s also about the way we choose to express it. In such a broad artistic practice, that choice is part of the exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spoken word means vulnerability: not simply composing a poem that will steal the show, but creating a space where everyone can reveal their vulnerability\u2014whether they\u2019re sharing their words for the thousandth time or for the very first. Intense experiences that need processing; experiences that can sometimes only be shared in front of strangers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also means embracing ambiguity: people share their views, styles, and inner worlds with the audience. We may not know someone, we may not be familiar with their ways, but spoken word invites us to pause for a moment to listen to what we don\u2019t immediately understand\u2014a prerequisite for such an endeavor to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To wrap up the season, Niki and Stavros invited key members of the community to put together a performance centered on these themes, incorporating music, sampling, looping, ambient sounds, and dance\u2026 with words always at the heart of it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Program<\/strong>: The first part includes 5 open mic slots, each lasting 5 minutes. The second part features performances by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four Athenian venues dedicated to electroacoustic, experimental and improvised music (Stress.Studio, Underflow, Ov Off Studio, and KET) join forces to create a festival that embodies their shared aesthetic, artistic inquiry and sonic exploration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bringing together atmospheric, melodic soundscapes; bursts of noise; contemporary dance; video art; and both established and emerging voices, the expA\u0418D programme captures the diversity and vitality of Athens\u2019s creative music scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This festival also highlights the importance of independent experimental spaces today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Operating outside the mainstream cultural scene, these venues provide a platform for lesser-known proposals and practices that don\u2019t fit dominant models. They enable a more intimate encounter with art and foster collaboration, building lasting hubs for the city\u2019s artistic communities and bridges to international networks. These spaces do more than host concerts: they create an atmosphere of vigilance, focused attention, and collective presence, embracing the risk of each new venture and approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Defending these spaces means preserving a different way of listening and a unique cultural experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the city transforms under the pressure of the real estate market and the tourism boom, independent venues face ever-increasing costs and little to no institutional support. Today, preserving spaces for artistic experimentation and free expression, outside commercial logic, is more necessary than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The expA\u0418D programme unfolds over two days and four venues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first day (Saturday 6 June) begins at Stress.Studio, in Exarcheia, from 20:00 to 21:00. The festival then moves to Underflow, in Koukaki, from 22:00 to 23:00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second day (Sunday 7 June) is the most intense and the most unusual in terms of timing. Ov Off Studio, in Ampelokipi, hosts two separate events: a morning session, from 06:00 to 07:30, and an afternoon session, from 20:00 to 21:00. The festival closes at KET, in Kypseli, from 22:00 to 23:00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tickets
\u25c6 \u20ac25 \u2014 Single ticket for all concerts
\u25c6 \u20ac12 \u2014 Admission per venue

KET PROGRAM:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunday 7 June 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doors: 21:30
Concerts: 22:00-23:00
1. f\u00f8-\u201cCYBORGUTT 2.0\u201d
2. IMPRO (V. Steiri, M. Billi, P. Giannakou, P. Kolotouros, J. Vanger)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. \u201cCYBORGUTT 2.0\u201d \u2014 f\u00f8<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The performance \u201cCYBORGUTT 2.0\u201d is the result of research into the connection between queer theory, cyborg bodies, and the field of music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By recording the sounds produced by the body with the help of an electronic stethoscope, f\u00f8 creates a soundscape that narrates its fluid identity within a system of binary perceptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breathing, heartbeats, stomach sounds, and brain waves provide a rhythmic backdrop and define the structure through biosensors, making the process of creation and performance transcendent and meditative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25c6<\/p>\n\n\n\n

f\u00f8<\/strong> (Fotis Rovolis<\/strong>) studied architecture and electroacoustic composition. Exploring electronic music production and blurring the boundaries between sound and space, his works take the form of installations and soundscapes. His works have been presented at various festivals and conferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
