Stylianos Dimou is a Greek composer of acoustic, mixed, and electroacoustic music, as well as a
conductor and performer. Fulbright Scholar and recipient of numerous awards and grants, his
academic and artistic activities have drawn the attention of International Festivals and
Institutions in Europe and the USA. His creative work comes directly out of the world of
experimental avant-garde, embracing the aesthetics of acoustic and electro-acoustic complexity.
At the forefront of his research area is the topic of vibrant complexity and live interactivity
utilizing technologies aimed at the ultimate blending of instrumental and electroacoustic
sounds.
Dimou's music engages a?plethora of ˇ§metallic" sonic entities, idiomatic frictions, granulated
textures, and chaotic microtonal clouds. It explores aspects of organic, pitch intricacies in
relationship with the evolution and the eventual exhaustion of repetitive mechanic
rhythmicities.?His compositions have been commissioned by Festivals in Europe such as the
Mixtur 2020, impuls 2019, ISACM/IKI Hamburg 2019, Ultima Oslo Contemporary Music Festival

music has been performed by major orchestras and ensembles such as the Orchestre

ensemble, International Ensemble Modern Academy 2014/15 & 2019/20, ?etc.? Some of his
