Baan Tong Luang village ~ Tham Pa park / Ko Chang island ~ Thailand
«Sabai»

The recordings for Sabai were made in February 2016 at Baan Tong Luang village, the Tham Pa park and Ko Chang island in Thailand. The visits at these popular destinations made me wonder, what are the limits between an ignorant tourist and a curious listener and recordist? When composing this piece, in June 2018, it felt I was a bit of both.

Yiorgis Sakellariou is a composer of experimental and electroacoustic music. Since 2003, he has been active internationally being responsible for solo and collaboration albums, having composed music for short films and theatrical performances, leading workshops and ceaselessly performing his music around the globe.
His practice focuses on the communal experience of listening and the communication between composer, audiences, performance spaces and the rest of the physical and supernatural world. He only performs in absolute darkness, fostering an all-inclusive and profoundly submerging sonic experience.
He completed his PhD at Coventry University (April 2018). His research drew inspiration from ethnomusicological and anthropological contexts and explored the sonic symbolism and socio-aesthetic settings in ecstatic religious rituals in relation to field recording, electroacoustic composition and acousmatic performance.
Yiorgis Sakellariou is a member of the Athenian Contemporary Music Research Centre and the Hellenic Electroacoustic Music Composers Association. Since 2004 he has curated the label Echomusic
