Dimos Vryzas is a violinist, improviser, sound artist and composer from Thessaloniki, Greece.
For several years now his focus in music has moved toward free improvisation. He studied improvisation with Fred Frith and Alfred Zimmerlin.
With a unique approach that comes out of a comprehensive spectrum of influences, from classical and folk music to rock, noise and ambient music, he is interested in exploring the limits of his instrument, working with the contrasts of acoustic / electric sound and exploring new ways of expression within music.
While the violin is the main source of his sound, he often uses his voice as well as other instruments.
Creating various soundscapes, podcasts, working with noises, composing music for film and theater are also at the core of his work.
As an improviser he performs solo as well as in a variety of other formations.
He has collaborated with many composers, visual artists, directors and dancers in various interdisciplinary projects all over Europe.
In recent years, he has been traveling, recording and performing with many great musicians in Greece, Switzerland, Portugal, France, Belgium, Germany and more.
