Biography
Sister Overdrive, real name Giannis Kotsonis, from Athens, Greece works with a number of sound materials including digital, analog and acoustic sources to produce multi-layered soundscapes alongside more energetic, driven compositions, keeping himself active with soundwork for theatre, dance, installation and cinema alongside his purely musical work. Initially working through his laptop, his practice has broadened considerably in recent years to include a greater range of external sources and a more detailed exploration of the electroacoustic possibilities inherent in his tools. The music itself thrives on harsh textures and elemental qualities of sound to suggest the richest of soundworlds.
His 2011's album Honey comes at the tail-end of a couple of very productive years, exposing a sound that travels the distance between subtle concrete to harsh noise elements. The structure, episodic on the surface, follows at the same time a larger form with a discernible internal logic.
He is also one half of the electroacoustic improv duo Acte Vide.
