SUMMARY:Showcase: Dollmaker (GR)
DESCRIPTION:Dollmaker is the musical moniker of fully independent Greek South African indie rock / alternative pop singer-songwriter and producer Chloé-Marie Kikillus. \nCurrently based in Athens\, she grew up between the untamed garden of a Johannesburg haunted home and the bedazzled HTML of the online dress-up games that raised so many girls in the 2000s. Her distinctive sound combines the digital and kitsch – bedroom-pop production\, gauche GarageBand MIDI\, and video-game sonics – with poetic songcraft grounded in the voice and acoustic guitar. \nInspired in equal parts by romance and cynicism\, dollmaker’s incisive lyrics spare no personal accounts from tongue-in-cheek scrutiny or sociocultural critique.\nReleased in April 2024\, her debut album ‘In Freefall I Feel Like You’ earned her features in local media\, including Beater and Avopolis\, and indie radio play from Greece’s own Strummer and Palestine’s Radio Alhara as far as WXNA 101.5 Nashville. \nSince her sold-out first full-band show last November\, she’s been laying low to work on a second album under her eternal motto – wholehearted audiolovesnark.

SUMMARY:Showcase: Billie Supernatural (GR)

With studies in Chemical Engineering\, Naval Architecture\, and Fashion Design\, she effortlessly moves between science and art\, bringing something fresh to the underground scene of the city. She masterfully blends beloved musical influences\, delivering raw\, truth-laden rhymes and lyrics that emerge unexpectedly from another era.

SUMMARY:Showcase: Alexander Mihaylov & His Patardia (BG)
DESCRIPTION:Alexander Mihaylov is a Bulgarian folk and jazz musician\, who has found creative expression through two very distinct instruments – kaval (a traditional Bulgarian wooden flute) and saxophone. Drawing from his deep roots in both folk and jazz\, he merges these influences to shape rich ethno-jazz soundscapes that flow effortlessly between tradition and contemporary expression. \nHis quintet\, “Alexander Mihaylov & His Patardia” takes its name from his debut album\, Patardia – a Bulgarian word meaning “noise and uproar” as well as the fusion of contrasting sounds. True to its name\, the project thrives on unexpected musical combinations\, intertwining the ancient tones of the kaval with modern influences. The result is a vibrant fusion that redefines the instrument’s possibilities\, pushing it beyond its traditional roots into bold\, new territories. \nMihaylov is joined by an exceptional group of musicians\, each adding their own distinctive touch to the band’s sound – Ilko Gradev (keyboards\, accordion) enriches the music with harmonic depth\, Georgi Popov (percussion) provides intricate rhythmic layers\, Georgi Uzunov (bass guitar) lays down dynamic grooves\, and Viktor Radanov (drums) drives the pulse with both subtlety and power.

SUMMARY:Showcase: Foteini Tryferopoulou (GR)
DESCRIPTION:Foteini Tryferopoulou is a sound artist based in Athens\, Greece\, whose work moves between music\, memory\, technology and perception. Combining urban soundscapes\, found objects\, electronic textures\, and acoustic instruments\, she creates immersive sonic worlds that blur the line between the familiar and the surreal. Her practice is deeply conceptual and rooted in experimentation\, often exploring narrative\, space\, interaction and the boundaries of listening. \nFoteini works with systems—frequently drawn from outside the musical realm—repurposing them as creative frameworks. Experimentation is central to her process: a space of discovery\, risk\, and transformation. She is interested in the role of technology and artificial intelligence in artistic creation\, in the context of opening dialogues between human and non-human interaction and co-creation. \nHer work has been presented at festivals and venues including the Alternative Stage of the Greek National Opera\, the National Museum of Contemporary Art (EMST)\, Studio Loos (Netherlands)\, Goethe-Institut Bukarest\, Technopolis 20 (Cyprus)\, and National Sawdust and the Rockefeller Center in New York as part of the Onassis Foundation USA’s Archive of Desire festival. She has collaborated with artists such as Jeff Zeigler\, Lucy DheGrae\, Miranda Cuckson\, Brandon Patrick George\, among others. \nThrough sound\, Foteini invites audiences to step into altered realities—where time shifts\, stories dissolve\, and perception is gently rearranged.

This is a common initiative where creators are essential partners\, not only preserving but actively shaping the future of Greek language\, culture\, music\, and creative expression in AI ecosystems worldwide. \nTo support this transition\, it is vital to revisit the notion of copyright and related frameworks with the realities of AI training\, generation\, and commercialization\, ensuring transparency\, fair value distribution\, and sustainable innovation. \nTogether\, through ethical design\, technical excellence\, and shared governance\, the foundations for a culturally sovereign\, internationally competitive\, and creator-driven AI future for Greece. After the presentation of PHAROS by Alexandros Nousias\, the other speakers will comment from their perspective and expertise on this project\, highlighting the challenges that will bring from a copyright perspective. \nPowered by the Hellenic Copyright Organisation\nPresenter: Maria-Daphne Papadopoulou

SUMMARY:The new remix: AI\, authorship & challenges for rights management
DESCRIPTION:In his seminal work Remix\, Lawrence Lessig explored how digital technologies were reshaping culture by enabling a new form of participation—one where users became creators through the re-use and recombination of existing content. Today\, we are witnessing a new kind of remix: not by humans reinterpreting art\, but by machines generating it. As artificial intelligence becomes an increasingly powerful tool for creating music\, fundamental questions about authorship\, ownership\, and rights management resurface in a radically different context. What happens to rights management systems when music is composed by algorithms—or collaboratively by humans and machines? \nPowered by the Hellenic Copyright Organisation

SUMMARY:Mythodia Visuals – Custom AI models for music videos
DESCRIPTION:Mythodia Visuals creates 100% AI-driven music videos by training custom models on each artist’s visual identity. Faces\, bodies\, styling\, lighting\, lenses\, and even real or imagined locations are replicated and transformed into reusable digital assets. Whether fully synthetic or blended with live footage\, the focus is on maintaining artistic intent while expanding creative possibilities. \nWe’ll show how our models achieve 1:1 visual fidelity\, how physical styling\, camera work\, and set design are transformed into digital building blocks\, how we navigate the balance between authenticity and imagination\, and how AI supports more efficient and future-proof production workflows. Directors\, cinematographers\, and editors can rethink how they work\, free from traditional constraints\, with more room for experimentation and creative control. \nModerator: Alex Dimou \nPowered by Mythodia Visuals

SUMMARY:Found or forgotten? How artists can be discovered
DESCRIPTION:Getting noticed is tough. With 120\,000 tracks uploaded every day\, artists face huge competition. Algorithms play a part\, but human tastemakers such as playlist editors\, bookers and curators still help decide what gets heard. \nThis session shares practical ways to improve your chances. We will examine playlist pitching\, metadata\, release timing\, and how to get in front of the people who make decisions. \nPowered by The Orchard \nModerator: Evi Choursanidi

SUMMARY:Fair remuneration of copyright and related rightsholders over musical works: The landfill of buyout practices
DESCRIPTION:EU and national law recognise the principle of fair and appropriate remuneration for both authors and performers\, establishing this as an equal level of high protection and a core principle of copyright and related–rights law. However\, the ongoing and emerging trend of buyout agreements\, the unilateral enforcement of buyout clauses\, and related practices undermine the rule of law and threaten the continued creation of music.\nAs the digital era gives way to the age of AI\, we increasingly hear the voices of authors and performers calling for concrete protective measures. This presentation will explore the impact of buyouts with the aim of highlighting current challenges and amplifying the need for reform. \nPowered by the Hellenic Copyright Organisation

SUMMARY:The ‘Taylor’s Version’ strategy: Re-recording music albums
DESCRIPTION:Swift’s move to re-record and re-release her albums\, labelling them as ‘Taylor’s Version’\, seems to have paved the way for a change in the world of music. On the other side of the Atlantic Ocean\, Taylor Swift regained control of her creative work\, meaning not only of her musical works but also of the master recordings. Although there is an interesting backstory explaining Taylor Swift’s decision\, in this presentation\, we focus on the legal grounds that made it possible. Copyright\, licensing\, and commercial transactions form an exciting world\, and this case confirms it. \nPowered by the Hellenic Copyright Organisation\nPresenter: Maria Daphne Papadopoulou
