Dimos Vryzas

For several years now his focus in music has moved toward free improvisation. 

With a unique approach that comes out of a comprehensive spectrum of influences, from classical and folk music to rock, noise and ambient music, he is interested in exploring the limits of his instrument, working with the contrasts of acoustic / electric sound and exploring new ways of expression within music.

While the violin is the main source of his sound, he often uses his voice as well as other instruments.

Creating various soundscapes, podcasts, working with noises, composing music for film and theater are also at the core of his work.

As an improviser he performs regularly solo as well as in a variety of other formations such as Life Only(w/Fred Frith/DAZ Diego Aguirre), Duo Karbacher/Vryzas(w/Eva-Maria Karbacher), The Coal(w/Simos Riniotis), Savina Yannatou, Circa19(w/Thanos Kazantzis), Lay Hold(w/Gabby-Fluke Mogul) a.o.

He has collaborated with many composers, visual artists, directors and dancers in various interdisciplinary projects all over Europe.

He has curated the improvised concert series KlangBang in Basel (2017 – 2019) and co-founded the organization AdHoc Arts in Athens (2021). He is the artistic curator of Stress.Studio in Athens and No Ordinary Festival in Thessaloniki. He studied Improvisation, violin and Political Sciences.
