Nokalypse

Electroacoustic / Industrial artist (born 1982), living in Athens, Greece.

He started making music in 2000 using computer and digital synthesizers, having already tackled in music technology for 3 years. The first pieces were intensively rhythmic, slow, repeated big-beat/industrial hybrids, reflecting his then (2000-03) background. Soon, he dealt with ambient music, turning his nonchalent mood of the period 2001-04 into sound. Between 2002-04 he got involved with the duet Striketsi (ambient/ noise), the duet and at times trio Harmatron (ambient/ electronica) and the quintet Party Butcher (ambient/post-rock) in recordings and live gigs.

By 2004 experimental (electroacoustic & free improvisation) and classical (18th and 20th century) musical stimuli constituted reason for further deepening the sound-sculpting procedure. In 2005 he released his first album and played live for the first time solo.

In 2006 he started Triple Bath, an independent recording label, something he had already thought of for the first time 3 years earlier. From this time and on, 2 fundamental elements of music, rhythm and melody, have disappeared from any sonic product and his sound turned into what is called noise/drone.

In the few live performances (3 per year) he uses a laptop computer running the application AudioMulch. The software mainly used to produce music at home is AudioMulch, WaveLab, Nuendo, GRM Tools and Waves plug-ins.
