Nikos Veliotis initially studied classical piano until the age of 16. He became involved in the Athens underground electronic music scene and founded In Trance 95 together with Alex Machairas in 1988. He took up the cello at the age of 21. By the end of the 90s he was totally devoted to the experimental field in both sound and image, performing solo or in regular groups. During the early 2000s he started a collaboration with fellow Greek musician Giannis Aggelakas with whom they released two albums to date.
In 2008 he founded Mohammad (also going by the MMMD moniker) together with ILIOS Coti K.[1] On 21 March 2009 he turned his cello into powder during a live performance with the title ‘Cello Powder [The Complete Works for Cello]’ at the Install Festival in Glasgow, U.K. He is the owner of a curved bow (BACH.Bogen n° 19). He has composed music for dance, theatre and films. From 2000 to 2007 Veliotis organised the 2:13 festival of experimental music in Athens, Greece.
