Arte Povera

“Arte Povera – The Documentary” is a documentary that captures the process of creating the music album “Arte Povera” which was directed and produced by Beats Pliz (aka Fotis Georgiadis). In a time where rap music is the number 1 music genre in Greece breaking all records in the charts and streaming platforms, the music producer, composer and director of some of the biggest rap music videos and hits in Greece, Beats Pliz, decides to produce an album that combines two completely different genres of music, those of classical symphonic music and rap. He composes original pieces of symphonic music, travels to 3 different studios in Europe to record them by top level orchestras, transforms them into rap beats and recruits the most popular rap artists in Greece, (including BLOODY HAWK, DANI GAMBINO, ETHISMOS, HAWK, LEX, MIKROS KLEFTIS, SANDAM, VLOSPA, WANG) to rap over them.

Sex, Drugs, and Rock ‘n’ Roll or Is it Hard work, crazy office hours and social posts?

You’ve heard the stories, I’m sure you have! For most of the music professionals there’s a misconception of what their job looks like to others and what it actually is. While the sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll image might be what comes to mind when people think of music professionals, there’s hard work, sacrifices and dedication that goes into building a successful career in the music industry behind it. From Baby boomers to Gen-Z, our speakers will share their personal experiences in the music sector, discuss about how the industry has changed over time and how different generations have adapted to new technologies and finaly about the challenges of staying relevant and surviving a constantly changing industry.
