Michalis Moschoutis

Michalis Moschoutis is a composer, curator, and educator based in Athens, Greece. Driven by the desire to observe and explore sound in all its guises, Moschoutis’s work calls for physical and mental engagement with the environment and the sounding objects. From live noise shows, to recordings of empty churches, and from eclectic festival programming, to music teaching, his output remains informed by the somatic and material nature of music.Moschoutis recently composed the original score of the award-winning film “Digger” and released the album “Classical Mechanics” on the Australian imprint Room40. In 2013, with the support of the Onassis Stegi, he initiated INMUTE, a festival opening up shared spaces between cinema, sound art, and experimental music. Together with orchestra conductor Ilan Volkov he curates Tectonics Athens at the Onassis Stegi, and since 2018 he is the curator of Borderline Festival. He is a founding member of GNOUS collective and currently works at the Learning & Participation Department of the Greek National Opera.
