Two works by PhD candidate Thanasis Epitideios will be presented at the national festival "Days of Electroacoustic Music" in Athens, along with works by important artistic personalities from Greece and abroad. These works implement the language of electroacoustic music and utilize the cutting edge of technology, as they include sound modeling of nature and projection through a 3D sound reproduction system.

The works are part of the doctoral research entitled "Nature and Sound Mimesis" which is being carried out in the department under the supervision of Professor Apostolos Loufopoulos.

reSonaissance is an innovative algorithmic sound work, crafted and performed in real-time using the ChucK programming language. The title intertwines three concepts: renaissance, resonance, and reconnaissance. Guided by algorithmic precision yet infused with stochasticity, each listening experience is uniquely different, continuously regenerating new shades and patterns of resonance. This work invites listeners to immerse themselves in the ever-evolving soundscapes, discovering new auditory details with every performance. In essence, reSonaissance is a dynamic and living creation, constantly developing and reshaping, always offering something fresh and unpredictable. It’s an auditory journey that promises a new and captivating experience every time.

The raindrops on your face, the first rays of sunlight on your eyelids, waking up to the sound of birdsong. The deprivation of nature during lockdown sparked a yearning for everything «natural.» iNature aims to emulate nature through Code, composing realistic soundscape versions. A crow, a black phoebe, a finch, insects, wind, rain, thunder, and once again, the song of birds recreate the shifts in a soundscape across the changing seasons, immersing the listener in an environment where sounds are generated algorithmically in real time. Developed by Thanasis Epitideios in Pure Data as part of his doctoral research on sound mimicry.The performance of iNature will take place in the DodekaOTTO system of the Electroacoustic Music Research and Applications Lab of the Department of Music Studies. It is a sound dome of twenty speakers that surround the listener and create an immersive environment. The installation will be located in the foyer of the School of Fine Arts Theatre from November 1st to November 3rd.
