History / Bio

OrpheusX is the project of Peter Kaiafas. Peter Kaiafas was born in Gary, Indiana to Greek immigrant parents. He started piano at age 9 and has played guitar since age 13. He has played in various bands since the 1990’s. Peter took up oud 8 years ago and studied with Alex Farha in Chicago. He now studies with Ronnie Malley in Chicago. The oud is a lute-type, stringed instrument that precedes the guitar by several centuries. It is primarily played throughout the Middle-East, Turkey and Greece. OrpheusX is the project name he created where he plays oud with loops, effects, cello bow, vocals, percussion and electronic synths. OrpheusX has several albums under the moniker OrpheusX that are available on iTunes, Spotify and Bandcamp.
