Kostis Kilymis

Void

Vitruvian Thing, Ptolemaeon 29A, 4th floor, 54630, Thessaloniki

Kostis Kilymis (London) returns to Thessaloniki for a performance of his new work Void, a piece that focuses on the artist's extensive work on field recordings, bringing it into focus together with live electronic treatments.

This new work examines our sense of space and works on building narratives through the assemblage of everyday and extra-musical sound. Using recordings from the streets of London and elsewhere, he constructs with them a new sound world that brings us closer to our own listening experience and allow us to draw out strange feelings and images of experience.

Kostis Kilymis is a Greek-born artist based in London. His work focuses on repetition, noise, immersive environments, feedback systems and the notion of representation. His music combines rhythm, field recordings and synthesised sound, reprocessed live and on location. He has been an improviser, performer and collaborator – his encounters including Lucio Capece, Nikos Veliotis, Greg Pope, Leif Elggren, Sarah Hughes, Stephen Cornford and Phil Julian amongst others.

He has performed across Europe in venues such as Café OTO (London), Q-O2 (Brussels), SGT (Athens) and in festivals such as Audiograft (Oxford) and Inmute (Athens). Work of his has been exhibited in gallery spaces in Oxford, London, Montpellier and Athens. He curates the Organized Music from Thessaloniki label and co-curates Rekem Records.
