Tasos Stamou is an electroacoustic music composer, an improvised music performer, an alternative music technologist and tutor, currently based in London.
During a decade he has been exploring and utilizing several different mediums of original sonic creation, into various recordings and performances; arrangements with self-modified electronics (circuit bending) and found objects, electronic music gear (modular synths & software), acoustic instruments (prepared zither, reeds, whistles, vocals, etc) and video synthesizers. Mostly as a free improvised multi-instrumentalist performer Stamou has presented live sets in solo projects and collaborations with other experimentalists and improvisers (London Improvisers Orchestra, Adam Bohman, Steve Beresford, Mike Cooper, Andrea Parkins, Kuupuu & Lau Nau, Terry Day, Adachi Tomomi, Ilan Manouach, Ignaz Schick, Magda Mayas, Arma Agharta, etc.) around venues and festivals for innovative music. Since 2008 he runs “Kukuruku Recordings”, an independent label for ephemeral exploratory sound works. He is currently leading workshop series for circuit bending & hardware hacking for experimental sound production.
