HELEN PAPAIOANNOU

Helen Papaioannou is a composer and performer, whose work ranges from her solo project for electronics and baritone saxophone (Kar Pouzi), to ensemble compositions, music for moving image, and improvisation with a range of collaborators. Across her work, she gravitates towards a minimal sound palette, with persistent grooves and a textural focus which revels in drawing out a lot from a little.
She is one half of the multi-instrumental Sheffield duo Garlic Hug and has been a member of various other bands including Beauty Pageant and HOKKETT. 
Helen has a new Kar Pouzi track coming out on ultraniche in 2023.
