Helen Papaioannou is a composer and performer based in Leeds, UK. She makes electronic music, writes ensemble compositions, improvises with a range of collaborators and composes for moving image. Kar Pouzi, Helen’s solo project, melds baritone saxophone & electronics in performances that are at once both stark and playful. Across her projects, Helen is drawn to minimal sound palettes alongside a fascination with scenarios and games that play with repetitive cycles, patterns and endurance. She has played as one half of Garlic Hug, and one third of the bands Beauty Pageant and HOKKETT.
