Thor Magnusson and Helen Papaioannou

Helen Papaioannou is a baritone/alto saxophonist and composer. She has a fascination with the dynamics of group interaction, and often works with game strategies in her collaborations. Her new solo project Halli Phron intertwines baritone/alto sax with electronics, and she is one half of the duo Garlic Hug, who combine found tapes, fields recordings, splintered beats, synth-sax skronk and interrupted drones.
Helen will also deliver her workshop Playground Rituals at algomech.
