Phivos-Angelos Kollias’ work integrates emerging technologies & sonic narratives to examine the interplay between the human experience & its digital counterparts. Through diverse interactive mediums— such as classical instruments paired with interactive electronics, virtual reality music installations & video games—each project reinvents active listener engagement. The audience's role becomes central, the driving force behind each work. Listeners are encouraged to interact, whether through deliberate actions or heightened perception. Kollias’ projects focus on themes such as AI's role in manipulation, multi-sensory interchange, & multidisciplinary collaborations. His aesthetic preferences are grounded on the fusion of electroacoustic music & classical orchestration, informed by interdisciplinary theories of Complexity, examining the interaction between sound & other senses or the challenges of technology. Kollias has a PhD in electroacoustic music from the University of Paris VIII. He has studied classical music in Cambridge, London & Paris & currently lives in Berlin. He has received 9 awards & 9 nominations in international competitions. The group projects he has participated in have won 12 awards & distinctions. His projects have been commissioned by various international institutions like ZKM (Karlsruhe), German Music Council, Musikfonds (Berlin), Dell Computers (USA), Boston University (USA), Aubagne Film Festival (France), etc. http://phivos-angelos-kollias.com/
