about

ZITHER DRONE
Multitrack recording of sustained tones using a zither and additional live electronic effects processing.

CHORD ORGAN DRONE
Multitrack recording of sustained tones using a Hohner chord organ and additional live electronic effects processing

Both tracks are a part of a composition series based on sustained, multichannel recordings of solo acoustic instruments.
The instruments have been performed with extended techniques and additional live electronic “extensions” (looping feedback & down-sampling, pitch shifting, reverbation and oscillators).

“Koura” is a traditional sheep shearing ceremonial custom, still performed in rural Crete. Every June, local farmers invite a group of close friends and relatives to join to this full-day annual festivity dedicated to the sheep.
A major feast in late evening finalizes a hard day of commune work.

Recorded at the ‘Owl Studio’, London, 2016.
Special thanks to Antonis, Tamara, Sieste.
