Novi_sad is the moniker of Thanasis Kaproulias. Born in Greece in 1980, he  has worked and collaborated with: Helge Sten (Deathprod, Supersilent), Francisco López, Mika Vainio (Pan Sonic), B. J. Nilsen, Daniel Menche, Ryoichi Kurokawa, Richard Chartier, Carl Michael von Hausswolff, Jacob Kirkegaard, Beckie Foon and Scott Konzelmann.

Influenced by the pioneers of Audio Assault, he began generating sounds in 2005. His approach is similar to the ‘cinema pour l’oreille’ (cinema for the ear) and in turn would like to ‘donner à voir’ (lead to seeing) by means of sound. Being immersed in his sonic environment offers an absolutely visceral and cerebral experience at once.

Novi_sad explores sound as sensation pulling apart its physical properties to reveal its relationship with human perception. Some of his projects are primarily focused in architectural acoustics and the relationship between architecture and sound, when other projects are based on various methods of audio analysis in extremely unique recordings and the use of quantitative and numerical data from different sources.

Novi_sad’s albums are available from Sedimental [U.S], Touch [U.K] and Staalplaat [NL]. He has performed his work live in cinemas, industrial spaces, theatres, churches, museums, galleries, squats, in festivals like Mutek [Montreal, Canada], Ultrahung [Budapest, Hungary], Observatori [Valencia, Spain], Field recordings festival [Berlin, Germany] and in such spaces as VPRO National Radio [Amsterdam, The Netherlands], Diapason Gallery [New York, U.S.A], Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts [Copenhagen, Denmark], Muziekgebouw aan ‘t IJ [Amsterdam, The Netherlands], Fylkingen [Stockholm, Sweden], The Chapel [Seattle, U.S.A]
