Ανδρέας Μουζακίτης

Andreas Mouzakitis was born in 1954 in Kerkyra. Today he lives and works in Athens and his main occupation is music. At the time when Athens experienced ‘rock situations’ he worked with Νικόλας Άσιμος (1973-75) and joined friends in setting up the Σπυριδούλα band (1977). In 1978 he worked with Παύλος Σιδηρόπουλος in many concerts and in the historical LP [m274809]. In the 1980s he stayed away from record companies, being in favour of a free and authentic artistic creation; during that time he published the poetry collections "Tropopiissi" and "Onirou Odyssia", illustrated with his own ‘paintings’ made of typewritter letters (ASCII graphics). Together with Λιάνα Κουτρολίκου they formed the Light Pop Beat band (1989), made independent music productions and composed music for theatre, dance performances and video art. In the last decades he has been making constructions and sculptures out of reused objects and materials. At the same time, he is constructing and using experimental musical instruments and he is composing and performing pieces of music written for drums and percussion.
