FM Physics

At its heart, Pendulos simulates a double pendulum – two masses connected by massless rods. The motion is chaotic: tiny changes in initial conditions lead to completely different trajectories. This chaos is what makes the instrument infinitely expressive.

Analysis - Resynthesis

Segments is a web application combining audio classification (Semantic Synthesis) with a algorithmic sound synthesis. Powered by MediaPipe's YAMNet AI model (using Transfer Learning), enables users to record, analyze, visualize and resynthesize soundscapes. The project is not yet public, however it can be available for specific requests.

Portrait

Μusic Αrtist, Sound Εxplorer and Αudio Programmer, moving between Athens, Crete and Gavdos.

Improvising music under the alias tOkeno.

Making sounds across exploratory electronics, electroacoustic practices, soundscape composition, autonomous algorithmic systems and sound diffusion.

Composing music environments for transformative listening.

Since 2000, engaging with performances, installations and collaborations with dancers, visual artists and theatre makers.

A process suspended between code and improvisation, studio isolation and live emergence.

Member of HELMA (Hellenic Electroacoustic Music Composers Association)
HSEA (Hellenic Society for Acoustic Ecology)
and PhD candidate at HMU

Music has been presented extensively across Greece, while sound practice has circulated internationally through electroacoustic music, soundscape installations, video art and dance film, with documented presentations in at least 16 countries across Europe, Asia, North and South America.

This site functions as an evolving archive - traces of performances, compositions, research and tools.

Occasionally, fragments are released: sounds, patches, apps, notes.
