Hi, I’m Ioannis Chrimatopoulos, an undergraduate student in the Department of Music Studies at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. I’m immersed in music technology, ethnomusicology, and performance, and I’m passionate about turning ideas into sound. I specialize in electric guitar and enjoy electronic music, sound recording, editing, and production. Over the last twelve years I’ve performed live as a guitar player and singer across Blues, Rock, Heavy Rock, Jazz, and American Folk settings, and I’ve also been developing my craft as a private tutor. Alongside performing, I teach electric and acoustic guitar at Music College Conservatory, and I’ve extended my creative work into acting in children’s plays and escape rooms. I actively participate in research projects and sound installations that blend music and technology, and I love collaborating with others to explore new sonic worlds.
