Bluets
Sound, Voice & Light
Pandelis Diamantides with Kristia Michael
2025—present
Bluets is a sound and expanded media performance by Pandelis Diamantides, created in collaboration with vocalist and sound artist Kristia Michael. Bringing together electronic sound, the human voice, moving image and light, the work explores the connections between colour, memory and emotion. Shaped by journeys across the Aegean Sea and the lived experience of Athens' metropolitan landscape, the performance approaches blue as more than a colour. It becomes a way of exploring feelings of distance, longing and belonging, inviting the audience into a changing landscape of sound, light and silence.
At the heart of the performance is Michael's voice, which moves between natural expression and electronic transformation, blending with layers of sound that gradually develop, fade and return. Silence plays an equally important role, creating moments of anticipation and reflection. Shifting shades of blue, abstract imagery and subtle movements of light shape the atmosphere, allowing sound and image to influence how the space is experienced. Rather than telling a specific story, Bluets invites the audience to slow down, listen and discover their own connections between colour, sound, memory and personal experience.

Interview with Giorgos Savvinidis
Philenews · 18 December 2025
Published ahead of the presentation of Ground Studies for Pilots and Bluets at the Nicosia International Festival 2025, this conversation explores sound as a space of experience, silence as an active condition of listening, and the relationship between artistic expression and human vulnerability. Moving between Amsterdam, Athens and Nicosia, the discussion reflects on place, memory and belonging, considering blue as an intermediate state between presence and absence, and listening as an act of attention, openness and coexistence.
