laonikoss Laonikos Psimikakis-Chalkokondylis London I am a creative artist and wilderness guide. I believe music happens everywhere in nature and humans, as part of nature, also partake in it but by no means exclusively so. I am in love with Finnish wilderness, hooked on Japanese philosophy and poetry, and really enjoy improvisation. What fascinates me about improvising and being in the wilderness is that they both almost demand a certain presence, a being in-tune, listening. I see improvisation as a yet-unvisited wilderness, with its surprises and risks, the need for a certain humility and honesty; a landscape unravelling moment to moment as one treads through it. I play the shakuhachi, dabble with eletronics, and love listening to birdsong.
