research center for the definition of happiness (istanbul branch)

the new album by this greek-welsh trio is now available, just 11 years after their debut ‘All Angels’ on Costis Drygianakis’ EDO label. An expansive piece for bowed and e-bowed tones, pulsating drones in an unbroken (?) continuum.

an ambitious little festival coming up next week in athens…

tot 1.0 evolved from the coinciding visits of ferran fages and grundik kasyansky in athens, greece. of course it grew up to be a lot more than that, it will feature performances of said musicians together and with local musicians, a solo performance of nikos veliotis on piano, a sax and electronics set from ilan manouach & george axiotis and a kind-of “dj set” from members of this site opening the festival

hopefully the first in a series of many rich weekends

will be performing as part of the athens festival on July 1st

@ Sxoleion, Space B, at 21:00

notable for the 2nd greek appearance by Lee Patterson, an artist who has received much praise lately for his work with contact microphones and for his efforts to bring to our attention the microscopic sounds of materials and objects. Unless the promo text for the show is all hype, the performance will take place in an unorthodox setting “using a single, continuous space in which the audio installation, audience and performers co-exist“.  The space used for the performance also looks quite beautiful. Video installation will be by Thanos Evgeniou & lighting design will be taken care of by Dionysis Efthymiopoulos.
