project started in 2002. i use a variety of devices/things to produce my sounds, most usually audiomulch, effect petals, bass, strings, insectos tropicales synth, contact mics and field recordings.
i consider music -as any other form of creation- as something made to share and belonging to humanity as a whole. therefore, i reject the greedy ideology of copyright and intellectual property, and the logic of exclusion of concerts with high entrance fees, security bastards, and sponsoring by hostile (for life in general) companies and organisations.
i try to find ways of doing things through networks of mutual aid close to the diy ideas. as i consider that at least in my city - athens- this is an ongoing process, as we try to promote the idea of free contribution and not entrance fee, i avoid playing in any sponsored/high entrance fee event there. i do understand that entrance fees or even small scale sponsoring is inevitable in other cities and countries ( because we all suffer by the ebsence of networks of mutual aid in every aspect of our lives) though, so playing outside greece is a matter of balancing things and subjective judgements which many times endi up in a concert with a small entrance fee.
my first concert was in athens, 03/04 and from then i played various gigs in athens, saloniki, instabul, kavalla, varna, ljubliana, skopje, berlin, paris, xanthi, mostar, london, leipzig, zurich, lausanne and yap other cities i am too bored to mention.

collaborations:
music i did together with other people, it is mostly short lived projects or one time sessions, done in various cities/circumstances

like defeated soldiers of a long forgotten war
doing a small swiss tour together with pille (completely fucked up society) resulted all too often in endless walking, carrying all sorts of music equipment in our backpacks, two tired, overloaded with stuff on their backs, dirty and somewhat romantic figures crossing the oh so elegant swiss cities. like soldiers coming home from a lost war which nobody wants to remember.
teaming up with michi (m.i.r.) for a night in a wonderful studio in basel, resulted in a 3 hours recording on md. i later discovered somewhat embarrassed that only the left channel was recorded. i probably plugged the right one in a wrong output.
back in athens i did try and succeeeded up to a point to recreate the original stereo feeling. as if you really gave a shit.

ps stamps back vs anal vissi
we had played before together as adaptories, but our first time of a tet a tet. resulted on a cdr "homefucking is killing prostituion" released, on 1000+1 TiLt. ps stamps back did the drones and textures, anal vissi did the rhythms and sometimes vice versa. later on we did rehearse and even played live (it was a truly vs thing, we even bargained like "ok you remove that rhythm and i take back that noise, deal?").

and the wind that will come to blow the dust away
3 people in a flat in leipzig, on easter 05: me, thomas and marek. it was moody and cloudy as usual in leipzig, and the faint odour of moisture was still in my nostrils. we had a guitar, a sitar, a sax, a didj and various objects/effects. i took the resulting recording back in athens where i seriously processed it resulting on a cdr release on 1000+1 TiLt
