is a hub for experimental music & its by-products. it aims to promote the activities of the greek experimental/underground (or whatever one might call it) music scene, as well as its various links internationally.
catalan electronics/turntable/guitar master ferran fages has a new album on ‘organized music from thessaloniki‘. This one doesn’t follow the dissonant and disjointed paths of his previous guitar albums, but rather brings together his careful control of resonance and feedback (as showcased in his recent work on ‘l’innomable’) in a striking suite of nocturnal six-string explorations.

athens-based artists unan (chris chondropoulos) and nikos kyriazopoulos, have a new split tape out on noise, a few decks below (this very website that is, the tape is actually co-produced by organized music from thessaloniki and a question of re_entry). The two sides contain each artist’s idiosyncratic take on the subject of bird-song. Unan offers a little musique concrete gem, built from the base up from re-purposed old vinyl, while Kyriazopoulos takes the quasi-mimetic path (though doesn’t limit himself to it) using his arsenal of analog electronics.

to add insult to injury, they have decided to stage a release party of sorts this friday, in the shape of a double-bill concert at knot gallery, athens. Featuring kyriazopoulos, and local experimental band xysm, of which chris is a proud member, this gig will be a nice opportunity to catch up with some of athens’ more forward-looking experimentalists, and to warm up for what looks to be a busy and noisy weekend.
