In the old days, "πώρωση" (porosi) was a widely used word and concept to describe passion, pleasure, excitement, delight, madness. Even as a fleeting intense sensation in music, film, food, play, life in general. Then it kind of disappeared. "POROSI" is now here to experientially bring back the meaning of this forgotten word through music.
The newly formed POROSI, created by one of the founding members of Arte Fiasco, officially introduces itself and announces its first three scheduled concerts for the coming season.
The presale for the first three concerts is available, including Early Bird tickets.
POROSI 01: SARAH DAVACHI + KARA-LIS COVERDALE
Tuesday 7 October 2025
Opening Act: Bethnal Greener
at Gazarte Main Stage
at Gazarte Main Stage
Two of the most important contemporary representatives of the minimal, experimental scene for the first time in Greece, in a unique double bill appearance happening for the first time ever in Europe.
Sarah Davachi, is a Canadian composer and performer of organ and Hammond B3, who moves both between acoustic forms and electronic instruments, and between melody and structured noise. Influenced by minimalist principles, early music concepts and experimental practices, she has created a remarkable discography and has presented her work internationally in many iconic venues.
Kara-Lis Coverdale is an internationally acclaimed Canadian artist who moves comfortably between acoustic and electronic sound, creating works that transcend the boundaries of musical genres. Her work is characterized by a deep understanding of electronic music without borders, rooted in the interconnected paths of musical systems and languages.
Bethnal Greener is the name of the musical vehicle of Kostis Kilymis, sound artist and producer. Starting from the realm of noise and electroacoustic experimentation, he unfolds narratives between stripped down electronics and the insistent inner pulse of sounds. His new album, "Field", is expected to be released in the autumn.
POROSI 02: OREN AMBARCHI
Sunday 7 December 2025
Opening Acts: Tropical Geometry + Savvas Metaxas
at Gazarte Main Stage
Oren Ambarchi's music lives at the intersection between different styles and influences: contemporary electronic music, improvisation, experimental minimalism, deceptive simplicity, latent rock physicality. Since the late 1990s his experiments in guitar abstraction and extended technique have led to a more personal and unique sound world that incorporates a wider palette of instruments and sensibilities.
Ambarchi has performed, collaborated and recorded with a wide range of artists including Fennesz, Sunn 0))), Alvin Lucier, John Zorn, Merzbow, Jim O'Rourke, Fire! and many others.
Tropical Geometry began as a diverse musical project between friends, which resulted in their studio album "Luck Mountain" (2021). Now operating as a dynamic duo (Babis Theocharis & Antonis Papadopoulos), they unfold their experimental pop music through their sonic explorations into the paths of Krautrock, psychedelia and minimalism. The project's live performances are extremely rare.
Savvas Metaxas is a musician and sound artist active in the fields of experimental music, field recordings and modular synthesizer. With more than 15 releases on vinyl, CD and cassettes, his music has been released on numerous labels such as LINE, Superpang, Granny Records, Glistening Examples, More Mars, Flaming, Pines, Coherent States, Falt, Grisaille, and he has performed in numerous concerts organized in experimental art spaces, music festivals, museums, galleries and concert halls. His latest release "Feedback Poetics", is out by "The Tapeworm".
POROSI 03: DECIUS
