Socrates Martinis is a Greek composer of electroacoustic music. His works have been published also under the pseudonyms : nixilx.nijilx / Hélice Pied / blanco estira nuestro (+),hermana Hélice, on various labels like Absurd, Drone records, Entr'acte, Antifrost etc. He has also published a book of poetry and ink sketches on Editions Farfoulas (Small Hand of Bronze, 2010). Martinis uses sounds that are mainly crafted by objects, found sound and field recordings . His music is developed within a semiotic framework that defines its identity between three diverse axes: conceptual/literary, sonic and visual.

North is based on Martinis’ performance “Wedding and the Negative”. The concept of the performance (i.e the drama of erotic desire) is here in further developed through a cycle of 8 poems, some ink sketches and 3 tracks, the longest of which is a reworking of its sonic part.

North is available as a hand crafted book of 26 pages accompanied with a 3"inch cd-r, released in an edition of 80 copies.
