ALL THOUGHTS ..HAVE A CERTAIN SOUND

About Me

I started to play with synths since I was 12 y.o, I bought my first Yamaha.. Back there I study some basics of music theory but soon I quit and start to experiment with sounds, recording everything I could and put them through guitar pedals to hear the results..(yes I was in a Garage group!)! After school 1990s I started to experiment with other persons such as G. Karabas (THE JULYS PROJECT), Antony H2O (IN-STRUM-MENTAL), Electroware, Haris (EGGSPHERE) and more.. 1994 (if I remember well), I release "ASTRO" under the name of MIXAHL at "LEMON" magazine, produced by Stefan and me.. This track went to "FUTURE MUSIC" magazine 1995 and voted as the Track of the Month..! After this I was realy into ambient sounds and tracks, more mellow less experimental, playing with a Yamaha pss (!!) and a Korg N5 almost classical pieces.. lol.. In the same time I was playing as a DJ around, (a lot of parties a lot of clubs a lot of everything..), but always playing the summers in Euboia!! In the begining of 2000 and after software "REASON" came into my hands I try to give a form of ambient-electronica to my tracks, and also try different forms such as Electro with lyrics (EL-KOSMOS project vocals by Dimitra Morou) but after I returned to my beautiful world of pads!!! I have 3LPs never released uner the name of ASTROKOSMOS and 1 Under the name of MIC..The latest projects I'm working now are minimal ambient and some Dance - tek, and also a cooperation with CADATTA under the name of MICADO...
