| "The Amalgamation Project" (Cyprus and UK based) |
Amalgamation:
1. The act of amalgamating or the condition resulting from this act.
2. A consolidation or merger, as of several corporations.
3. A cocktail of musical influences, traditions, experiences, colours and sounds, creating a cross-cultural membrane connecting the ancient with the modern, the sacred with the profane.
This is a personal project that involves original music composed usually by myself or with collaborations. (also re-arranged music) Amalgamation is a concept that fascinates me, enabling me to lure in any musical influence I desire and create my own sound-scape or I sometimes call it, “Sound (E)scape”. The atmosphere on stage usually passes through eastern modes and free improvisation mixed with funky bass lines and African rhythms... The absence of lyrics in the majority of tunes allows the listener and the performers to give music their own personal interpretation and create their own means of communication drawing in sounds from around the globe with no physical boundaries, politics or borders outside of time and space, connecting the natural flow of ancient traditions with the more complex tastes of today's contemporary music world.
