His piano piece “Extremities A-B” was presented by Ermis Theodorakis at Edinburgh and has been released in the cd compilation "Piano music by Greek Composers 2". Sometimes, he acts in very peculiar ways. He was member of the post punk-experimental group “Epomeni Kinisi”. He had collaborated with the ethnic-rock group “Ypogia Reymata” for two years and with George Bandoek Apostolakis for the creation of the music environment of the abstract performance installation “Anapodi Klosti” (Athens, 2008). He has written five scenarios for short films, one for a feature film and theatrical plays. He earns his living by writing texts for TV shows. He gets depressed easily and he enjoys lying under the sun. He conceived and presented the multimedia work “Low Fidelity” (for five home cd players and video) at the Young Artists’ Biennale in Athens, in 2003. He created (together with Lefteris Papadimitriou) the electronic pieces “Brick”, “Match”, “Baby Pop” and “Jolly Wood” (all presented at Small Music Theatre, Athens). He has composed pieces for solo instruments, string quartets, pieces for small ensembles, a concerto for cello and orchestra as well as a lot of electronic works. He has also composed a number of works for TV, theatre and cinema as well as a lot of pop, rock and dance songs. He is not very keen on the internet.
