Kar Pouzi melds baritone saxophone, electronics and voice into heavy, fractured beats, ecstatic drones and incessant repetitions. Kar Pouzi has a fascination with repetitive tasks, sounds, thoughts, or expressions that simultaneously straddle the ridiculous and the dark, the melancholic and the silly and the minimal to the maximal, within and between different pieces. Her new album will be released in November 2025.

Kar Pouzi is a moniker of artist Helen Papaioannou, based in Leeds, UK. Helen’s work draws from her varied experiences across electronic music, performing in bands, improvised musics, and ensemble compositions. Across Helen’s projects, her style gravitates towards minimal sound palettes and evolving patterns, matched with an intensity that spills out into music that is at once stark, visceral, playful, and precarious.
