Live electronics – Fani Konstantinidou
This performance is inspired by people, ideas, places and of course recordings of the past six months. From Greece to Poland and from Spain back to the Netherlands.
Fani Konstantinidou is a sound artist – composer of electronic/electroacoustic music, living and working in The Hague, the Netherlands. Her artistic research focuses on conceptual composition, sonic images and the perception/imagination of the listener in electroacoustic music. Currently, she is expanding this research by investigating how the cultural/social and individual differences of the audience can affect the listening process. Through her music she explores the power of space and time on each individual sound, especially as compositional tools that affect listener’s perception. She has a particular interest in the combination of computer generated sounds with physical sound sources.
