Orestis Zafeiriou is an Athens-based electronic music composer and sound artist. His practice centers on the relationship between sound and the brain’s ability to generate mental images during listening. His work extends to theatre, dance, and cinema.
He explores the “sonic image” as a compositional method using field recordings, modular synthesisers, traditional instruments, and computer, while drawing on film theory to expand his toolkit.
Cinema builds upon rhythm, montage, and image content. Similarly, he constructs his soundworlds through evolution and transformation—treating sonic events as cinematic fragments that carry their own dramatic arc.
Orestis holds a Master’s from the Sonology Institute at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague, and a Mechanical Engineering degree from the Technical University of Crete. He studied piano at music high school—a foundation that resonates in his electronic work. He is also a founding member of the band Playgrounded (fourth album September 2026).
