An audiovisual collective

Modified dog is an audiovisual collective which alters, transforms, and changes its formulation, depending on the needs of each live concert, performance/installation, project. Modified Dog’s sound combines diverse elements: digital/electronic equipment (laptops, synthesizers, pedal effects), instruments (trumpet, percussion, vocals, guitar, saxophone, drums) and recording (sampling) from various audio sources (speeches, city sounds, environmental sounds, scapes). Compositions include forms and elements from minimalism, electronic music, jazz, experimental music and post rock. The simultaneous mix of various sources of lighting effects and video-mapping projections creates a “cinematic” experience to each performance/installation.
 
At Vitruvian Thing, Modified Dog will perform 7 music compositions based on previous and new material. The visuals will be made by Kallia Triantafyllou.

Bio:
In 2009, Chrysanthos Christodoulou, Dimitris Dalezis and Dimitris Tatsis formed the music group “Basement”. They presented a series of live performances with different musical compositions by Chrysanthos Christodoulou written for dance theater. With the collaboration of Stathis Mitsios the nature of their performances changes into a three-dimensional “virtual” environment where video, animation and lighting are directly involved in the orchestrating of the compositions. Improvisation plays a crucial role in the research, the formation and the composition of new material. In 2012, Dimitris Pantelias becomes member of the group. In 2013, “Basement” changes its name to “Modified Dog” and Dimitris Tasoudis also joins the group. The collective collaborates with various visual artists such as: Stathis Mitsios, Stratis Vogiagis, Kallia Triantafyllou, Maria Louvari, Thekla Malamou and Argyris Marinopoulos.
In 2016 modified dog appeared on 51 Dimitria 2016 festival with their “8:00 a.m – 9:00 a.m. / from light to darkness, from orange to black” project. In 2017, the collective collaborates with Caravan Project on “Fragments of Real” project.
