Vrolijk = Happy in Dutch. Happy I am as the dark Covid cloud seems to eb away.

"AK-Vrolijk"is part of a set of instrumental compositions, concieved during the Covid lockdowns. It is recorded live in my home studio, in an analogue workflow and 90's midi sync techniques, with only some EQ and compression in the postproduction.

Alex Kyrkos - Now

Alex Kyrkos was born in Drama (Greece) and lives in the Netherlands. Music has always been a fundamental component of his life. Alex is a singer songwriter  and writes songs in several languages. He sings, plays nylon strings and electric guitar as well as long-neck lute, is creative with keyboards and enjoys digital synthesizers. The last years he produces his own songs at his home studio. He is fascinated by musicality in natural and rural sounds integrating them in his songs.
Alex has played with many bands and is been influenced by a vast range of music. Classic rock of the  80’s and 90’s, minimal music, folk music from the Mediterranean, electronic music and medieval early music are his most important influences.
His songs are inspired from human stories. Love plays a central role, animals and nature are also common themes. The last years he focuses in English lyrics.
