I love the art that comes of out of this town.

What’s your favorite place in your town?
There is a hill in Athens with a great view of the town. On your left you can see the Parthenon on your right the sea. The best time to be there is at dawn.

Who would you most like to collaborate with?
I would love to collaborate with Nils Frahm. I admire the atmosphere he creates when he performs and the way he works.

What was your best gig (as performer or spectator)?
This summer I performed at the archeological site of The Temple of Zeus in Athens which dates from 6th century BC. This experience was unique and the scenery breathtaking.
As a spectator my favourite concert was Sigur Rós live in London 2 years a go.

How important is technology to your creative process?
Technology is important but it is just another tool a composer can use.

Do you have siblings and how do they feel about your career?
I have an older sister. She was always very supportive to me and I’m sure she loves what I do. However, when we lived together she wasn’t very fond of me playing the piano at certain times of my inspiration (i.e. very late at night or early in the morning). Apart from that I believe she enjoys what I do.
