NOVI_SAD (Gr)

Novi sad is the guise for Thanasis Kaproulias (b. 1980) who holds a degree from the Economic University of Piraues. He lives and works in Athens, Greece. Influenced by the pioneers of audio assault, he began generating sounds in 2005. No studies, no academic education, no scholarships, just pure learning by doing.
Amplified environmental recordings, drone manipulations, structured ambient soundscapes, microtones vs overtones, all come together in a hyper structure of iconoclastic form.
The strength of his soundscapes works in the same elaborateness for the whole creation process, starting from a basis of very strong conceptualism, the intense examination of field recordings over the actual composition work, to the point of performing back the result onto location.
His approach on sound is primarily focused on ‘cinema pour l’oreille’ (cinema for the ear), architectural acoustics and the use of quantitative/numerical data from different sources. He has presented his work in some of the most prominent festivals and spaces worldwide and collaborated with major figures in the fields of digital music creation.

Novi sad explores sound as sensation pulling apart its physical properties to reveal its relationship with human perception. Some of his projects are primarily focused in architectural acoustics and the relationship between architecture and sound.
