Georgios Varoutsos (b.1991) is a sound artist and researcher from Montreal, Canada. He is completing his PhD at Queen's University Belfast with SARC: Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Sound and Music. He received a Master's in Research in Arts & Humanities with a concentration in Sonic Arts from Queen's University Belfast, passing with distinction. Additionally, he earned a BFA with Distinction in Electroacoustic Studies and a BA in Anthropology from Concordia University in Montreal.

 

Georgios bridges past and present history through sound and other mediums, offering audiences a variety of perspectives and lenses through his artistic endeavours. By inviting people to listen and be informed by the transformative potential of sound, he creates major links across different historical times and narratives. This has been accomplished through various initiatives presented globally through concerts, installations, exhibitions, soundwalks, and conferences. Various sources inspire his works, including field recordings, digital recordings, amplified sound materials, audio processing, synthesis, archival materials, video recordings, and experimental procedures. Projects have spread across fixed media, animation soundtracks and effects, performances with CLOrk, cross-collaboration with Sonorities + Space21, and other aspects of sonic research. Signature works encompass an unorthodox depiction of audio manipulation in mind of engendering tension and emotional reactions.

 

He is presently interested in research and practice involving urban arts, spatial audio, sonic arts, socially engaged arts, and themes around sounds, places, and spaces.
