Electronic Music Award-Winning Composer-Producer-Arranger

Project-based lessons in music composition / electronic music / music production / music programming. 

I am an award-winning Berlin-based composer-producer with 15+ years of experience in composing for international projects of electronic music, classical instruments, Video Games and Virtual Reality.

I have received nine awards and nine nominations in international competitions, including the Festival of International Virtual and Augmented Reality Stories Competition (Canada), Iannis Xenakis International Electronic Music Competition (Greece), Musicworks Electronic Music Competition (Canada). The group projects I have participated in as a composer have won twelve awards and distinctions, including the Apple TV Game of the Year award and the Gamescom Indie Award, and they have been listed twice on Forbes’ top lists.

My projects have been commissioned by various international institutions, such as ZKM (Karlsruhe), Greek National Opera (Athens), the German Music Council, Musikfonds (Berlin), Dell Computers (USA), and Transmediale (Berlin), Athens Digital Arts Festival (Athens).

I am the founder and creative director of Echorroes team, a human-centered approach to Artificial Intelligence through interactive music play for children. The project has been piloted with leading institutions such as the Greek National Opera, the Athens Digital Arts Festival, three Berlin schools (Lillebror, Tommelise, Hucky Bucky), and two Athens schools (Argyri-Laimou, Villa Aimilia). It was selected as a finalist for the National Bank of Greece Seeds Innovation Competition and was nominated for the Ars Electronica/S+T+ARTS Prize 2025.

I have studied classical music in Cambridge, London and Paris with the support of four prestigious foundations (Onassis Foundation, Megaron Athens Concert Hall, Leventis Foundation and Greek Composers Union).  

I have been for many year a composer, initially in classical contemporary and electronic composition, and the last 8 years working with games and Virtual Reality. 
I have  received seven awards and nine nominations in international competitions, while he has participated in collaborative projects that have received seven international awards and two distinctions.

My teaching style is organising everything around project based learning. We find with my students a practical goal that we want to achieve (ex. recording some songs, making music for a short film, creating a score for a concert etc) we set milestones and we break learning into steps and modules to learn. 
This way learning is more practical, effective and fun.  

Suitable for:
