‘Epilogue’ is exactly what its title suggests. I wanted to bring a closure to this musical exploration with a free improvisation, over a hypnotic set of bowed basses. I thought that it would be nice to finish this album with the feeling that it comes back to where it started, that is with the na...
I don’t know where the title for this one came from, I guess there is a sense of playfulness but also of a certain struggle in the theme of the track. It is based on Arabic music, especially the music of the Arabian peninsula, with its microtonal melody and its African-like syncopation. My good fr...
I was trying to go for a balkan-informed theme on this one, with it’s simple melodic lines. I went for a funky swinging beat and Sakir gave it an almost Bollywood feeling to it with his percussion playing. It also is a rather danceable tune, showing my lighter side. Here I played the electric bass...
This is another jam that evolved into a complete piece. I built this one with my beatboxing, my breaths and my basses, using what was available to me to create something between a Turkish Roma rhythm and an Afro-influenced groove, all through a slightly experimental and avant-garde prism. This one t...
‘All the Senses Become One' is a song in Greek talking about beauty. It describes a beautiful human being passing by and spreading their positive energy around. It is a piece that stylistically lies somewhere between the music of Greece and the Near East and American R&B music that I grew up liste...
This is a composition that I wrote for a collaboration with filmmaker Khaled Tanji. It is a short art film that we actually haven’t made yet, however, I thought that the tone of the piece would really fit the overall concept of the album. It is named after my beloved wife, imagining her starting t...
It was a cold spring night when I plugged in my bass and jammed over this rhythmic loop. It is a rather funky and bluesy little solo, on a single note bass line. I remember listening to a lot of Sly and the Family Stone(One of my favorite Soul/Funk groups) around the days that I played this. As the ...
‘Baseline’, just like ’Up’, is one of those bass-melody experiments. It is a bass that becomes a melody and vice versa. This one was first written on paper, without the use of an instrument, in a more conceptual way. I love using bowed basses to be in unison with the pizzicato ones. It reall...
This is a rare song on the album. It talks in Greek about an occupying soldier with burning eyes, who though, is unable to look the occupied in the eye, afraid of feeling compassion. It is based on a groove that I wrote and improvised on and then sent to Dimitris Klonis. What I heard back from him w...
I have lately been listening to some church choir music from Georgia and Armenia and have been increasingly interested in vocal music from different parts of the world. This interest pushed me to write a short piece for male choir and basses. I find this combination so interesting, with its deep sou...
Once again, there is a sudden mood swing, with a composition of mine that draws mainly from the Eastern musical traditions. It is a melody that I wrote one morning and recorded most of the bass parts that same evening. I was so glad to have Fotini Kokkala on the kanun, Giannis Poulios on the violin ...
For the third piece of Hane I invited two great musicians and friends. Tamer Temel played soprano and tenor sax and Dimitris Klonis was featured on drums and electronics. It is a composition that sprung out of jamming on a quite polyrhythmic but danceable rhythm. After writing the B and C parts I th...
