Aluf

A.k.a. Dimitri Papadimitriou

Aluf is the project of Dimitri Papadimitriou, who besides a long and weird last name, has a tendency of disliking almost every form of working. Instead he prefers to create cheerful tunes, mainly by using jazz, instrumental and home-made samples, structured in such a way, that the listener can enjoy while driving to work, as well as in night clubs, in bed, or whilst boiling an egg. Since he was born in 1983, he has tried dj-ing, high-jumping, studying biology and other similar activities, none of which led him anywhere whatsoever. For some years now, he has mysteriously been undertaken with music production mainly because he finds the creation process to be more fascinating than wine and sex, and partly because he can smoke instead of read or train for long hours. Thus, by using only software and midi controllers (at least for the time being), he tries to give old music a modern structure. He achieves this by blending thoughts and feelings with tiny snips and snaps which, in their turn, are extracted and used via the method of micro-sampling and mixed with synthesized melodies. This process usually takes place under the influence of movies, burgers, or soccer and its aim is to deliver a sound pallet that tries to be as variable as the modern age we live in.
