Music & Sound for Media

About

Daphne was born in 1990 in Athens, Greece. With both parents being artists (Aphrodite Pournari & Takis Farazis), she grew up in a widely artistic environment, enjoying theatre stages, music studios and backstage areas as her playground. She studied piano, cello, music theory and was a proud choir member from an early age.
In her teens she fell in love with cinema and after making her first short film Lumen (9', 2005) she decided to attend the Film School of Aristotle University in Thessaloniki (2007-2012). Being part of numerous student films - mainly in the Sound & Music Department - it was clear she would follow that path. Her final research project, Cinephonic Synthesis No. 1 (12', 2014), narrates a story with sound only, dealing with the matter of subjectivity when one tries to visualise audio material.
In the years that followed, she started working as a location sound engineer, boom operator, sound designer and sound mixer for film, television and other media. She was involved in theatre and other audiovisual projects as a composer and musician while also performing as a DJ under the alias DJ Alice.
In 2017 she studied with acclaimed composer Kornilios Selamsis at the National Theatre of Greece, in the Lab for Music Composition in Theatre (2017-2020). Her works Larmes and The Waves Broke on the Shore were performed at National Theatre, in the programme’s final concerts.
In June 2019 she applied and participated in the workshop ATLAS Athens - A Cartography of Europe by Nikos Kamarotos in collaboration with Onassis Stegi.
In October 2019 she was accepted for the Master's degree programme Music Creation for New Media in Kapodistrian University of Athens (2019-2020), where she showed special interest in the creation of generative music.
In the ten years of her working experience, Daphne has been a part of many diverse productions for fiction films, documentaries, theatre shows, television shows, music videos, art installations, performances and she has participated in various projects by Amazon Prime, Onassis Stegi, National Theatre, Porta Theatre, ERT, Cosmote TV, SKAI, Benaki Museum and others.
Today, Daphne's work is focused on capturing sound on location for film and other audiovisual media, while composing and producing music in her home studio in Athens. Being part of a group and working in the field as a sound engineer or boom operator, is equally important to her as the ability to be creative in her own space.
