Ioannis Gardiklis is a sound artist, composer, and electronic music producer based in Athens.

​

His journey in music began at the age of six when he studied violin and piano at the National Conservatory of Athens. His passion for sound later expanded to include electric bass, guitar, and synthesizer, leading him to pursue further studies at the Philippos Nakas Conservatory. Ioannis holds a degree in Electronic Music Production from SAE Creative Media College, a partner institution of Middlesex University, and has also studied Multimedia. He has participated in the Greek National Theater’s workshop on Music Composition for Theater and collaborated with the National Opera of Greece in the inter-artistic project Transmedia Labworks: ElektraGramm, Op. 58. His education includes courses in Music for Video Games from SAE Creative Media College and Music in Cinema from the Higher School of Fine Arts of Greece.

​

Ioannis's work primarily explores the intersection of sound with visual and performing arts, where he composes music as a means of communication between different art forms, often investigating the relationship between technology and music. His compositions blend natural, analog, and digital sounds.

​

Among his most recent projects is the sonic, cross-experimental collaboration "Vei Scale" with artist Yoma Mot, which bridges electronic sound with contemporary poetry. In 2022, Ioannis also worked with jazz pianist and composer Vangelis Stefanopoulos on sound design and post-production for the album Sonance.

 

In 2019, Ioannis created two interactive installations: Moving Still and Non Space Timeline. The former was showcased during the avant-garde event The Twelve Compartments aboard the Train at Rouf Railway-Theatre, while the latter was part of the Performance Rooms 2019 exhibition at Kappatos Gallery, presented in a room at St. George Lycabettus Hotel.

​

Since 2014, Ioannis has been releasing solo music under the alias Electrohead. His work has been featured on Audiokult-Extraordinary Records (Vienna) and Flexibilia Recordings & Publishing (Munich). In June 2023, he released the album ΜAGMA through Thinkbabymusic Collective.

Additionally, Ioannis has composed soundtracks for art exhibitions, experimental theater performances, and short animations.
