Kostas Siembis and Kostas Tsougras. From years 1998 to 2006 he had studied at the Music Department of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and he graduated after the completion of his thesis regarding the use of Markov Chains on interactive music environments composed and constructed with Max/msp.

During 2000-2001 he participated in an experimental project which was help at the Aristotle University in collaboration with the American Hellenic Educational Progressive Association (AHEPA) and Institute of Psychoacoustics (IPSA) directed by prof. Thanassis Rikakis. There he was introduced to the techniques of algorithmic sythesis and sound synthesis using software like Cmix, Csound Max/MSP e.t.c.

His Composition “Polychromia III’ for ensemble was awarded at the anual Competition for Young Greek Composers which was held in 2005 at Athens Megaron Concert Hall, directed by conductor and composer Theodore Antoniou professor at Boston University.

He has attended seminars on music composition and music analysis with D. Blake, L. Hadjileontiadis, H. Tulve, T. Antoniou, T. Simaku, R. Marsh e.t.c.

His music includes both acoustic and electronic-electroacoustic works. In his recent works he uses extensive algorithmic procceses and he organizes his music material based, primary, on a spectral way of thinking using state-of-the art software and trying to explore and expand every sound property from a mathematical - physical point of view.
