Antonis Pratsinakis
Antonis Pratsinakis is a cellist based in Amsterdam. In past years he has focused on creating performances, including dance, video, acting and culinary disciplines. Highlights of recent productions include performing as soloist in P.M. Davies “Vesalii Icones” (for solo dancer, solo cello, and ensemble), on tour as composer and live performer with choreographer Jasper van Luijk creating the dance performance “The Nonsense Society” and the 2018 Australian premiere at Dark Mofo Festival of “Backwards from Winter”. In September 2019 he collaborated as composer and performer with the traditional Suzhou Kunqu Opera house in China, creating a new version of the “Surprising Dream” from Peony Pavilion with the dance company Groundbreakers. Antonis captures the ephemeral moment with his music. Its nature is explorative and provocative, surprising and challenging. He approaches the cello composition as a mixing board. Coaxing electronically modulated sounds from just about every crevice of the instrument’s hollow body, Pratsinakis’s work draws huge cello synth-like overtones from manipulated pulls of the bow, electronic percussive elements and lines that skirt the periphery of neo-classical experimental electronic compositions.
