Polychronopoulos was born in Athens in 1980 and studied Physics at the University of Patras where in collaboration with the professor of the department of Mechanical Engineers Dimitris Skarlatos, he has published three papers on issues of acoustics. From September 2006 until today, he lives in Patras where has been doing a PhD with the professor of the department of Electrical Engineers Yannis Mourtzopoulos on the subject of "Control of closed places acoustics with adapted acoustic elements". He has specialised knowledge in programming for audio applications with finite element methods as well as methods of programming languages and signal processing.
His involvement with music and composition began in 1993. Since then, he has been dealing with the subject of sound in many ways, on the one hand as music and on the other hand scientifically.

His latest collaboration is the 2021 album Widdershins with drummer Iakovos Pavlopoulos and bassist Thanos Polymeneas-Liontiris.
