John Valasis is the core, soul and driving force of the Poordream project. He is a music composer
and sound designer as well as an experienced sound technician and producer, obtaining many years
of professional presence within the greek music scene. Poordream is his first project in regards to
electronic music and constitutes his personal vehicle of communicating his creativity to the international
music palette.
Costantenus (John’s brother) was raised in an environment full of artistic and, especially, musical
influences which helped him to stay in tune with his own internal, artistic voice. His ability to express
himself by writing was the necessary element so that the Poordream project would receive its
conclusive form. He participates in the project through writing lyrics and recording vocals.

A b o u t
The Poordream project intends to express a certain point of view
regarding the new arising era, mainly through music pathways.
During our times of transition, this project is focused on the human
being and his consciousness, as to develop the latter towards
a more holistic, dynamic and complete existential theory. It is
stimulated by everyday life, by the natural and artificial surroundings
and by other creative and artistic works such as films, documentaries
and more.
Exploring a wide range of experimental electronic and acoustic music such as IDM, breakbeats,
ambient, cinematic and experimental sound art and composition, Poordream masterfully blends both
'real' sounds and field recordings with digital textures and atmospheres in order to synthesize
a unique mixture of world music and contemporary electronic music. Poordream's exquisite sound is
reproduced in live shows, in which musical, visual, dancing and verbal artistic forms are combined.
