A unique two-day seminar dedicated to Immersive Sound, Lighting, and Live Production, where modern sound, lighting, and wireless systems technology meets artistic creation.
At “The Immersive Experience”, leading companies in the field present their latest developments and applications under real live production conditions.
During the seminar, systems and technologies will be presented by the following companies:
DIGICO – FOURIER – KLANG – SOUND DEVICES – LECTROSONICS (IEM & Wireless)
FLETCHER Machine – ADAMSON – FOLLOW-ME – PROLIGHTS
Workflow, technologies, and practices currently used in the largest international productions.

A special highlight of the seminar will be the LIVE IMMERSIVE DEMO, where technology will meet musical performance in a fully immersive environment.
The demo will be opened by Livas Trio GR with Vangelis Karipis, Taxiarchis Georgoulis, and Tasos Poulios.
Following this, international mezzo-soprano Markella Hatziano, along with piano soloist and creator Dimitris Keramidakis, will present an exclusive excerpt from the groundbreaking international project “LIGHT”.

The sound engineer for the live immersive demo will be Yiannis Baxevanis.

Short Bio for Dimitris Keramidakis
Dimitris Keramidakis began his career as a child prodigy, having been awarded in international music competitions and graduated from the State Conservatory in 1996, after attending piano lessons for only 4 years.
In 1997, he began taking part in concerts around the world and continued earning scholarships for his studies with Roberto Szidon, Ruth Gerald, Mr Loether,
- Shroeder, Milena Mollova, Sarantis Kassaras, Victor Merzhanov.
Somewhere there, he started to feel limited by the narrow boundaries of classical music and developed the need to forge his path as a creator, through improvised music and electronic technology.
He joined the psychoacoustic group of Aristotle University and composed music, researching and developing new forms, trends, and methods, while giving concerts around the world. He has over 2000 participations in Greek and foreign discography, seminars, and music for film and theater. In recent years, apart from being a producer, composer, and soloist, he has been interested in combining traditional songs, Mediterranean music, and Western African culture with the organic sound of the piano, the magic of technology, and the freedom of jazz.
In 2014 – 2017, he was awarded for his contribution to music and culture.
