I was glad to be among the special guests of Diffrazioni – Florence Multimedia Festival (http://www.diffrazionifestival.com/nuova-pagina), “a project dedicated to contemporary art exploring the boundaries between technology and poetic expression, where new tools, new scenarios and deep inner emotions meet and combine.”
The European premiere of my work “Am I hearing voices within the voice?” took place on Thursday, March 28th, 2019 at the magnificent Le Murate Progeti Arte Contemporanea.
This festival is an opportunity for connection, celebration, knowledge, development. It is a physical space and a short moment in time where multiple experiences converge, each one originating from different research fields in science, technology, art, expression, communication. Diffrazioni bases its strength on a system of synergies between institutions of higher artistic education, public administrations, young artists, cultural associations and non-profit organizations.

After its world premiere at the Tehran International Electronic Music Festival, “…am I hearing voices?” receives a US premiere November 27, 2018 at the Grains of Sound #1 in San Francisco Conservatory of Music, Osher Salon.

My activities at TIEMF entailed among others following:
September 2nd 2018, Hanooz Bookstore
Lecture
Artificial voice. A brief history of speech synthesis: from talking heads to talking machines.
In this talk, I present an overview of speech synthesis. The idea that a machine can generate speech disappears in the depths of history, but only recently has man been able to construct speaking devices with success. The narration of this history starts from simple hoaxes (antiquity to 17th c.) and moves on to mechanical approaches (18th c. to 19th c.) with more emphasis to electronic and digital approaches of the modern era (20th c. to present).
Sep 5th, Tehran University, School of Music
10:00 – 12:00 “Composing Seminar”: The Reconstructive Nature of Memory as a Compositional Model. Aesthetic Approach and Algorithmic implementations.
Memory and identity. Variance and invariance. Iteration and evolution. The opposition between unity and multiplicity, in terms of the ”dialectic of the repeated and the non- repeated.“ The present seminar outlines my views on compositional process technique in theory and in practice. At rst, I present a framework of a compositional methodology based on the reconstructive nature of memory, as a metaphor for the construction of pitch complexes and their dynamic and evolving elaboration in my music by means of algorithmic manipulations. In the second part, I present an introductory demonstration of some algorithmic routines of my interlocking technique.
12:00 – 15:00 Composing Master Class
With students of the M.A. Program in Composition of the Composition Area of the Tehran University Department of Music Studies
Sep 8th 2018, Tehran University, Avini Hall
Premiere of my work
“… am I hearing voices within the voice?” (2018) for fixed medium
was composed in more voices and vocal manifestations from samples of principally non-verbal vocalizations, reconstructed by fragmenting, overlaying and ltering the vocal timbres, to accommodate my own requirements
During the composition process, I was more interested into the subtleties of spoken sound when speech is deprived of meaning, the subtle pauses, speech cadences, evolving dynamics, the stumbles, the stammers, the um’s, and ah’s, the speeding up and slowing down.

About
This initiative investigates new ideas in the field of sound, visual and performance art. Off borders festival, intends to provoke conversations into the intercultural coexistence among the dipole artists & audience.
Wondering where the periphery starts and where the center, strong proponent of DIY culture (do it yourself), we aspire to create another node in the world DIY network and develop communication channels having intercultural exchange as their main goal.
Our goal is the integration of the periphery into within the internationalization process of contemporary art. Sounds, Pictures and Movements create a meeting point in Greece, disseminating frequencies across Europe and nearby countries.
Bridging the gap
GREECE-IRAN-GERMANY
The off borders Festival wants to establish itself as an out of bounds 2 day event at the city of Thessaloniki. This year we aim to artists from Iran, Germany and Greece, whose works focus on investigating new ideas, consider risk as an inherent aspect of their work. Unlike other festivals, off borders is particularly interested of participants-driven projects focusing at the fields of:
Electronic Music/Sound Art
Video Art
Performance Art

Program Notes
Dimitri Papageorgiou, “No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue…” (2016)
The work paints an eerie imagery of the dark side by constantly shifting and unfixing the tonal anchors of its harmonic world. The title draws inspiration from the line “No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue…” from the famous rock song Paint it black (Album “Aftermath,” 1966). In the lyrics of this haunting song, the Rolling Stones use color-based metaphors and paint with an exceptional nihilistic pathos the colorlessly blackest of all possible blacks.

ICMC/SMC 2014 Joint Conference | Music for Ensemble II | Onassis Cultural Center, Main Hall | Thursday 18/9/2014 | 19:00-21:00
If you are in Athens this coming Thursday, September 18th, don’t miss the concert Music for Ensemble II at the JOINT ICMC/SMC Conference. The concert takes place at the Main Hall of the Onassis Cultural Center, a state of the art concert hall.
Among various very interesting works in the program, by composers such as Patricia Alessandrini, Judith Shatin, Kyong Mee Choi, Lidia Zielinska, Martin Ritter, and my Greek colleague Leontios Hatzileontiadis, is my wok Effluénces (2011), a very challenging piece for ensemble.
Onassis Cultural Center, 107-109 Syngrou Avenue, 11745 Athens, GR. http://www.sgt.gr/en/programme/event/1738
The full program of the concert entails:
Leontios Hadjileontiadis, Brainswarm for bio-conductor soloist and ensemble, kinect, ΕEG Emotiv, MAX/MSP-Processing live electronics and visuals (2013) 13′
Judith Shatin, Spring Tides for amplified flute, clarinet, violin, cello, piano and interactive electronics 11’3”
Patricia Alessandrini, Trio d’après Schoenberg for cello, clarinet, piano and electronics 7′
Martin Ritter, Prayer for alto flute, cello and percussion (2013) 13′
Kyong Mee Choi, Tender Spirit I for flute, clarinet, violin, cello, piano, percussion and electronics (2013) 9’20’
Lidia Zielinska, Rust for 5 instruments and CD (2010) 9’24”
Dimitri Papageorgiou, Effluénces (2011) for flute, bass clarinet, violin, cello and piano (2011) 12′
Performers:
Zacharias Tarpagos (fl), Alexis Pogrevnois (cl), Giorgos Panagiotopoulos (vln), Alexandros Mpotinis (vc), Thodoris Vazakas (perc), Giorgos Konstantinou (pno), Kostas Anastasopoulos (pno)
Effluénces – Program Notes:
I wonder how the warp of living memory can affect a musical narrative, which would record the inscription, over time, of the remembered past — e.g. of a musical event – in memorial form. For that purpose, I tried to focus on the moment of recollection and I have envisaged the form as a ‘tree of memory.’ The branches of this ‘tree’ extend in various directions as reconstructions of the past in the light of present, following the tricks memory plays in every step of the way: some of the facts have been switched, others are omitted or added; in some cases, accurate memories are mixed with inaccurate ones and, in other cases, facts are perhaps retained but their source is forgotten.
The pitch structures of Effluénces have been obtained by using algorithmic routines in Super Collider. The routines have been implemented in the frame of the research project Algorithmic Composition in the Context of New Music (2009-10), which took place at the Institute for Electronic Music and Acoustics of the University of Music and Drama at Graz, Austria. Given a limited material as input—usually two or three different ordered pitch cells—linear arrays of cells are formed which are subsequently braided with one another, constantly regrouping into new formations in order to engender inexhaustible variants at the output.
The score of Effluénces is available by BabelScores at www.babelscores.com/en/catalog/inst…ents/effluences

Opening Ceremony ICMC/SMC 2014 | Ceremonial Hall, Athens University | September 14th, 2014 | 19:00-21:00.

The main theme of the Conference is “Music Technology meets Philosophy: From Digital Echos to Virtual Ethos“.
The ICMC|SMC|2014 Conference will include lectures, special sessions, indoors & outdoors concerts, installations, demonstrations, studio reports, workshops, exhibition as well as asummer school, given in various places ranging from concert halls and university auditoria to museum lobbies and archaeological sites.
