StarWound

Starting in 2012 as a five-member band and now a trio since 2019, StarWound is based in Athens, Greece, and consists of three musicians: Konstantina Stavropoulou (vocals, synthesizer), Petros Bouras (piano, synthesizer) and Dimitris Azorakos (drums). The group’s songs reflect upon the philosophical and social dimensions of the human condition and fuse a cabaret ambiance with elements of EDM and synth rock genres. 

“Interiors” delves into the effects of isolation and social disruption from the COVID-19 pandemic through poetry and song. The goal is to provide musical accompaniment to original poetic compositions provided by each collaborating institution and present these songs in a multifaceted and multi-institutional concert program, based on the thematic concept of “Interiors.”

StarWound has released three albums: 2015’s “Miles to Walk,” 2018’s “So Wrong,” and 2024’s “What Do You See?”
