Artist History The Unherd "are" Kleanthis Paraskevopoulos, born 1970, based in Nicosia, Cyprus. Kleanthis is an ex-pharmacist who gave it all a twist and is now studying electronic graphic design in Athens Greece, after having completed two years of Multimedia studies. He claims to have minimal music theory knowledge. To cover up, he uses his hearing experience of his record collection (summing up in the thousands), some sound-crafting software on the computer, a guitar and bass plus any household object that can virtually produce sound (eg. plastic bottle of water) and builds up textures and samples which he then sews up to a unit-much like in the way one puts up a carpet out of trashy cloth strips. Everything, from pure oxygen to the final music piece is created and "executed" by him, including the related cover art. His songs have had some airplay on local radio, but were never performed live yet. Kleanthis was also the editor of local FUSE fanzine a few years back and will soon be publishing a poetry collection in Greek. "Urban Creaturescape", one of his English verse attempts won him a global 2nd prize. He has recently been involved with industrial photography, short movie making and animation. For those who love labels, his work in any field can be described as "Generation X" stuff, though one of the Gen X features, as he points out, is the generic lack of any label. A term like "universal subterranean common thread" could do, however.
