He has also composed music for dance performances , animation and film.
In his live performances Yiannis is exploring instabilities of highly sensitive systems. Algorithms, acoustic sound , object bodies, devices as sound making stations but also as material, electricity and the space itself define a medium with fragile feed-backing relationships and interactions. Those conditions of uncertainty provide endless possibilities for interference leading to new spatial sound experiences.
