Live: Novi_sad Hiroyuki Nagashima (Dowser) Chihei Hatakeyama DJ: Akey Artist information: Novi＿sad  IIC – International Internal Catastrophes © Novi＿sad + Isaac Niemand Novi＿sad is the guise for Thanasis Kaproulias (born 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. His approach is similar to the 'cinema pour l'oreille' (cinema for the ear) and in turn would like to ‘donner à voir’ (lead to seeing) by means of sound. Being immersed in his sonic environment offers an absolutely visceral and cerebral experience at once. Novi＿sad explores sound as sensation pulling apart its physical properties to reveal its relationship with human perception. His music has been described as ‘a complete surrendering of the senses’. Novi＿sad’s albums found plenty of receptive ears, receiving glowing reviews in music media around the world. His audio works are available from Sedimental (U.S.A), Touch (U.K.), Staal plaat (NL) and Sub Rosa (BE). Novi＿sad’s projects have been presented in various forms in cinemas, industrial spaces, theaters, churches, museums, auditoriums, squats, and numerous international festivals.
