About
Alexis Georgopoulos (American, b. 1974) is a composer and artist based in New York City. As ARP, he makes hypnogogic, minimal music, most often with analog synthesizers and, increasingly, classical stringed instruments. Since 2002, he has performed internationally and has been presented in such spaces as PS1, Deitch Projects, White Columns, MOMA (SF), Yerba Buena Center and Frieze Art Fair. He has released work on DFA, Smalltown Supersound, Troubleman Unlimited, Rong, Eskimo, Lo, Root Strata, White Columns & Deitch Projects imprints. He has remixed Lawrence Wiener, Lindstrom and Shocking Pinks and has been remixed by Hot Chip, Munk, Optimo and Soft Pink Truth. He is also a member of the groups Q&A (DFA), The ALPS (Type/Mexican Summer) and founded the group Tussle, which he departed in 2007.
Most recently, his score for Replica – a Modern Dance piece featuring Jonah Bokaer & Judith Ruiz Sanchez (of Merce Cunningham & Trisha Brown Dance Companies, respectively) – premiered at the New Museum in New York City (December 2009). A number of his pieces were used in the Soundtrack to the film Objectified (Gary Hurstwit, 2009). In late 2008, he composed and performed a live score for Doug Aitken's film Migration. The follow-up to his acclaimed debut album In Light, the forthcoming album The Soft Wave, will be released by Smalltown Supersound in May 2010 and will be accompanied by remixes of his work by Swedish group Studio (Information), French electronic composer Etienne Jaumet (Domino) and the American artist Keegan Mchargue (Metro Pictures).
Anthony Moore (British, b. 1948) composer, media artist and professor at the Academy of Arts (KHM) Cologne in the department of Art and Media Sciences, where he works on the theory and history of sound.
Having studied Indian classical music with Viram Jasani in 1969, he generated his first movie soundtrack for David Larcher's Mare's Tale. As well as acoustic instruments, it involved extensive manipulation of magnetic tape (time/pitch shifts, layering, splicing, loops, feedback). Since then he has created a number of soundtracks for European, independent movies (see films of Werner Nekes, Dore O, Klaus Wyborny, Heinz Emigholz, Rudiger Neumann, Rainer Crone), many of which have won prizes at international festivals.
In 1970 he moved to Hamburg, Germany, where he recorded three albums on Polygram for voices, strings, woodwind and percussion; Pieces from the Cloudland Ballroom, Secrets of the Blue Bag and Reed, Whistle & Sticks. In 1972 he formed the band Slapp Happy with Dagmar Krause and Peter Blegvad and went on to make a number of acclaimed records. From 1973 he worked in Europe and America as a freelance composer experimenting with sound, recording, writing songs and producing soundtracks. He collaborated with Pink Floyd on two of their albums and worked with many other musicians and artists.
His continuing output of electroacoustic composition and vocal music led to a synthesis of these two forms in music-theatre. In 1991 he composed the music for a one-hour television opera, Camera, commissioned and broadcast by Channel 4 in the UK. 1995 was spent writing and recording the album project, Broken China, with Rick Wright of Pink Floyd.
In September 1996 he was appointed Professor for research into sound and music in the context of new media at the Academy of Arts and the Media Cologne. From 2000 to 2004 he was elected Principal of the Academy. Founder of sound events and symposia, per->SON and Nocturnes, besides teaching he continues to write and compose.
