Athens-based sound artist, producer and storyteller Apu Nanu draws inspiration from post-internet aesthetics, microtonality, neoclassical themes, and video game nostalgia, blending these influences with playful MIDI manipulation and collage-like sound design. Trained in both Eastern and Western music traditions, they are a multi-instrumentalist interested in exploring new approaches to digital composition.

Their debut EP, “The Untold Saga”, is a cinematic soundtrack to an imagined gamespace and was released in 2024 on the Polish label BFF Music. They have collaborated with artists such as Galen Tipton, Julek Ploski, and Oliver Torr, while their music has been choreographed by Zoi Tatopoulos and featured by brands like Valentino. Their work extends to compositions for performances and art installations presented at venues such as the Benaki Museum and the Gerrit Rietveld Academie.

Following their debut, they began performing across Europe, with appearances in cities such as London, Berlin, Milan, Prague, and Brussels.

Their latest EP, “I’ve Been Having Strange Dreams”, is a collection of intimate, surrealist compositions and was released in 2025 on the New York-based label unseelie.
