stelios.exe
Live • hyperpop medieval compositions
Saturday 19 October at L'Embobineuse
stelios.exe will be presenting a brand new live show for transform! featuring works by medieval composers Hildegarde von Bingen and Kassiani.
With flute augmented by electronic effects, distorted voices and apocalyptic productions, the live show will alternate between moments of contemplation and storms, reflecting the most extreme human emotions.
The melodic lines are sometimes pure and soothing, sometimes deconstructed, struggling to make their way through a raging sea of illusions and mirages.

stelios.exe is a musician/producer based in Marseille. He builds bridges between Renaissance music and hyperpop, two genres born three centuries apart, but both based on heightened melodic expressivity.
Renaissance counterpoint, a compositional technique that develops several simultaneous melodies, is integrated here with a maximalist approach to pop, where codes and effects are exaggerated and pushed to the limit.
The Renaissance flute and voice emerge from a radical electronic sound design, like a ray of light through a distorting stained-glass window, where familiar elements are distorted and altered...
The musician's approach is part of the deconstructive movement, seeking to break down the barriers between genres and fuse popular influences with so-called ‘learned’ concepts.
